ZSFG GI Division Chief
The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Department of Medicine at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG) seeks an outstanding leader for its Division of Gastroenterology. The Division comprises 11 physicians and 43 staff members who are mission-driven to provide high-quality, patient-centered care to patients within the San Francisco safety net. The expectation is that the Division Chief will not only maintain the division's current forward momentum but also pave the way for expansion in new directions.
The ZSFG GI Division functions as a combined GI and hepatology unit that performs ~1000 new consults and >5100 endoscopic procedures annually, including EUS and biliary endoscopy. The physical plant is state-of-the-art, with 4 procedure rooms plus a dedicated room for advanced procedures. The division also staffs outpatient GI and liver clinics with a combined volume of >5600 patient visits annually. The division has a robust eReferral platform with three portals (GI, direct access endoscopy, and hepatology) totaling >7500 virtual encounters per year.
Research within the division is diverse, spanning basic as well as clinical investigation in both luminal gastroenterology and hepatology. Extramural funding for research in the division totals $3M per year in annual direct costs. Examples include implementation science efforts to improve colorectal cancer screening; clinical and translational research programs in autoimmune liver diseases, alcoholic liver disease, and cirrhosis; and clinical trials in metabolic liver disease, cirrhosis, and colon cancer detection. Basic science efforts focus on cell biological studies of metabolic liver disease and animal models of hepatic fibrosis with a focus on antifibrotic therapies.
Education of medical students, residents, and fellows represents an important mission of the Division. UCSF GI fellows consistently rate the ZSFG GI rotation as one of their best educational experiences. Several GI faculty are dedicated clinician educators with leadership positions in undergraduate and graduate medical education programs. Additional faculty hold leadership positions in health services/hospital administration.
