Teaching was UCSF’s original mission, and even as the University has grown in status as a research and patient care institution, education remains primary. Consistently ranked among the nation’s leaders in medical education, the UCSF School of Medicine continues to attract the best and brightest students and train them to become outstanding clinicians and investigators.

UCSF promotes academic excellence across the continuum of medical education, from teaching and training students to providing lifelong learning for experienced physicians. The School’s new curriculum, introduced in 2000, now serves as a national model of innovation in medical education, and its prestigious Academy of Medical Educators sets high standards for teaching. A recent visit by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the nationally recognized accrediting authority for medical education programs, reconfirmed the School’s reputation for innovation and excellence.

Support for medical education is essential to maintaining UCSF’s excellence as a teaching institution and will help to ensure that the challenges of 21st century medicine are met by a generation well-prepared to accept them.
