UCSF School of Medicine

From the Valley, for the Valley. This year, UCSF Fresno celebrates 50 years of training doctors, providing expert treatment and expanding access to care in the San Joaquin Valley and across California.

Since 1975, UCSF Fresno has lived out UCSF School of Medicine’s mission: to educate and empower physicians to serve where they’re needed most.

We’re proud of this extraordinary campus and the people who make it thrive—learners, faculty, staff, and trainees dedicated to their community. https://tiny.ucsf.edu/qxOezq

Magkasama: FAMSA, Medical Trainee, & Faculty Gathering

"Magkasama" is Tagalog for "together" or "with each other." While Tagalog is widely spoken, it's important to note that the Philippines is home to over 170 languages and dialects, each with its own unique history and cultural significance.

This event is OPEN TO ALL: UCSF medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty, especially individuals who identify as Filipino, their allies, and those interested in learning more about Filipino culture. We hope this event will provide a chance for our community to come together. The evening will feature games, karaoke, and traditional Filipino food in a fun and welcoming environment.

Food will be provided!

🎉We are thrilled to announce that one of our own vision researchers, Dr. Anbu Muniyandi, has been accepted into the prestigious National Alliance for Eye and Vision Research 2024 Emerging Vision Scientist Program! This distinguished honor recognizes her exceptional contributions to the field of vision research and provides an incredible opportunity to advocate for the future of eye health.

The Emerging Vision Scientist Program brings together the brightest minds in vision science. Participants engage with policymakers in Washington, D.C., sharing their groundbreaking work and advocating for crucial funding. This program is vital for fostering innovation and ensuring continued progress in preventing, treating, and curing eye diseases.

The UCSF Department of Ophthalmology is a leader in vision research, dedicated to discovering new and advanced treatments for a variety of eye conditions. Continued support from the National Eye Institute and the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs - CDMRP Vision Research Program is essential for sustaining our efforts and making breakthroughs that improve lives.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Muniyandi on this well-deserved honor, and in supporting the importance of vision research funding!

"Because they come here, after their experience, they want to pursue careers in health care which is incredible because often they have not considered it otherwise," said Genevieve Charbonneau, Education Simulation Educator.

High school students get hands-on experience with internships at UCSF Kanbar Center for Simulation Several students are wrapping up their internships at UCSF's Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills Lab where they got to practice life-saving skills that they learned on "Sim Man"-- a talking mannequin.

Happy New Year!

We asked faculty, staff, and learners what they were most proud of in 2023, and what they're looking forward to in 2024.

Forever proud of the dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment that defines who we are.

The excitement and emotions of this year's Match Day were heightened because the event at Koret Quad was the first time the entire class reconnected in-person since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
