Doximity ranked 3,691 residency programs across the country, based on a survey of its physician network (view methodology).
UCSF’s residency training programs ranked No. 1 in anesthesiology, neurological surgery and radiology; No, 2 in dermatology, obstetrics & gynecology and neurology; No. 3 in internal medicine; No. 4 in radiation oncology; and No. 5 in surgery and urology.
UCSF residency training programs were also ranked in the top 10 in family practice, pathology, pediatrics, plastic surgery (integrated) and psychiatry.
UCSF’s Associate Dean for Graduate and Continuing Medical Education, Bobby Baron, MD, said that while the survey methodology wasn’t scientific, it reflects just how good UCSF’s training programs are.
“Our residency programs are, in fact, very strong,” he said.
“Measuring success by almost any outcome, including accreditation data, resident match results, resident and faculty surveys, opportunities to care for a terrific population of patients, faculty quality, careers of our graduates, or by reputation of student deans and program directors would place our programs in the very top tier.”
