The Department of Medicine is committed to fostering a thriving community through collaboration, inclusivity, and shared responsibility.

We explore and express this commitment through two core pillars, creating a culture of belonging within our department through Culture and Community Building initiatives, and building impactful partnerships in the broader community through our Community Partnership Program. 

Members of the community come together to work side-by-side.

Community Partnership Program

Through the Community Partnership Program, we collaborate with partners across the San Francisco Bay Area to improve the public health and health care resources in our communities in ways we cannot do alone. We aim for a broad range of collaboration and partnerships, to build mutual benefit and exchange across the pillars of clinical care, education, and research.

Culture and Community Building

Through the ongoing efforts of our Department of Medicine Culture and Community Building Council, we strive for an academic culture and department community in which all people – including those who have historically been marginalized – can thrive. Check out our programs, community events, and informational resources.
