Message from the Chair

Welcome to UCSF Dermatology, a global leader in patient care, education, research and advocacy in our specialty. We're proud of our unparalleled faculty and training programs, and passionate about our innovative work. 

We provide outstanding clinical care for our local and broader communities, serving patients of all ages and backgrounds with common and rare skin problems.  In addition to adult and pediatric general dermatology clinics and a dermatologic surgery and laser center, we also have several nationally renowned subspecialty clinics.

We offer a second-to-none residency training program with both clinical and research-intensive tracks, as well as many post-residency fellowships.  Our diverse trainees have gone on to become national and community leaders.

UCSF Dermatology’s robust research programs rank among the world’s best, addressing key problems in skin biology and disease at the levels of the basic, translational, and clinical sciences.  Our research faculty are also engaged in innovative work in public policy, public health, and epidemiology.

Fortunate to be located in our diverse San Francisco Bay Area community, we are deeply committed to advancing health equity and public health across each of our core mission areas.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about our programs and the remarkable people who make up our departmental
community.
