Its tuition is full-time: $31,134 (in-state) and full-time: $43,379 (out-of-state). The faculty-student ratio at University of California--San Francisco is 3.1:1. The School of Medicine has 2,135 full- and part-time faculty on staff.
Students at the University of California—San Francisco School of Medicine take two years of block courses before completing a year of clerkships and a year of clinicals. About 150 students are admitted in each class, and the majority of the student body is from California.
In addition to earning a traditional M.D., students can add on a second degree through dual and joint programs. In the M.D./M.S. program, for example, students add a humanities slant to their science education in three years of classes at University of California—-Berkeley before moving to UCSF to complete a traditional medical track for two years. Also unique is the Program in Medical Education for the Urban Underserved, a five-year education that readies students to work in impoverished communities across the country.
Medical students can complete clinical rotations at hospitals on campus, like the UCSF Medical Center and the UCSF Children’s Hospital, or at sites throughout the city, including the San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center. Students can live in university-owned housing units, including group houses and private apartments on or near campus. The city of San Francisco offers boundless opportunities to unwind after class, from beaches to dining and nightlife.
