A San Francisco Institution
With more than 20 locations throughout San Francisco and beyond, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is an industry of its own, contributing greatly to the intellectual vigor and economic vitality of the City by the Bay. The only UC campus devoted exclusively to the health sciences, UCSF specializes in patient care, research, and education.

The original UCSF campus located at Parnassus Heights is made up of a tight network of buildings where faculty, staff, students and others are engaged in patient care, research and education activities. Covering almost six blocks, the campus serves as headquarters for UCSF leaders.
Mission Bay
UCSF Mission Bay is a teaching and research campus with a daily population of about 3,500 UCSF faculty, staff, students, patients and other visitors. With more than 1 million square feet of research space, the thriving campus will include a 289-bed integrated hospital complex to serve women, children and cancer patients when completed in 2014.
Mount Zion
The UCSF Mount Zion campus is a hub of specialized medical center clinics and surgery services located in the Western Addition. In addition to housing the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, Mount Zion boasts a growing network of outpatient services.
