THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO (USA): entirely dedicated to health sciences and life sciences

Abstract

We continue our ruble of the acquaintance of our colleagues with the leading universities of the world, which are included in the top trend educational institutions. This time we would like to introduce you to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). University of California, San Francisco is unique among the University of California campuses in that it performs only biomedical and patient-centred research in its Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Dentistry, and the Graduate Division, and their hundreds of associated laboratories. The UCSF School of Medicine is the oldest in the Western United States. In 2021, the School of Medicine was the second-highest recipient of National Institutes of Health research funds among all U.S. medical schools, receiving awards totalling $630 million. In 2016, the School of Medicine launched the Bridges curriculum, more than half of which is dedicated to diagnostic reasoning. The UCSF Medical Center is rated as the 12th best hospital in the US and 3rd best in California. We hope that this article will be useful for a wide range of readers.
