About University of California San Francisco
University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has been at the forefront of the development of modern American biomedicine and medical education, thanks to recent scientific and bioengineering advances, Nobel prizes, an entirely new biotechnology industry, health policy research, oncogenes, prions, and the AIDS epidemic. Yet, the school's long tradition traces back to the very beginnings of the city of San Francisco in the Gold Rush days, laying the foundations for the academic medical center that we know today. To reconnect this complex institution with its lively past, a narrative history has been designed and written, drawing upon the rich historical materials in UCSF's institutional archives and the work of the UCSF Campus Oral History Program.
