University of California-San Francisco Reviews

"UCSF PharmD program is a well established academic program that is at the fore-front of revolutionary clinical pharmacy, patient care, and managed care. Students have opportunity to gain practical knowledge and experiences in patient care in different practice settings through Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs) and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs)."

"I'm sure I will learn more about the program as it progresses, but I can already see that it is designed to make me the absolute best dentist I can be. I know that I will be prepared to enter further studies or the workforce upon graduation from UCSF. I also am so thankful to have such a motivated and diverse class. We are all working together to reach our goals and are becoming close friends."

"The Graduate program in Physical Therapy is one of the top in the country. The staff is fantastically supportive of the students and curriculum is challenging but incredible in its integration of material. I would choose this program again and again."

"Great school, great professors who really care and are flexible to make changes to become a better program."

"UCSF is a fantastic school in a great location with amazing people. The only cons are lack of financial aid (due to state budget problems) and occasional administrative disorganization."

"Phenomenal clinical training, amazing support from professors, many opportunities to become involved, wonderful and supportive peers"

"The student to faculty ratio could be better, but the overall program is great for any future dentist. The cost is very competitive compared to other dental schools and the atmosphere is wonderful."

"UCSF has an amazing nursing program, and I recommend it highly. It does come with its share of disorganization (this seems to be common to most nursing programs!), and the city is very expensive to live in. However, I could not imagine going anywhere else!"

"This program is very competitive, high quality with access to the best faculty in the field. It is expensive and Federal Financial aid is not available"

"PROS: UCSF has a great reputation and delivers a quality education. They teach a well-rounded medical education. Plenty of resources. Diversity is improving. Supportive faculty. CONS: San Francisco is an expensive city."

"Great didactics and theory taught. Supportive faculty and staff. Need for more patients to increase clinical training."

"The program is very supportive and welcoming but the workload is intense and not as evenly distributed as would be preferable."

"Pros: Excellent city, academic competitiveness, opens doors for residency programs, phenomenal faculty, affordable tuition, great transportation and great diversity. Cons: San Francisco is extremely expensive, the program is very primary care focussed so for subspecialty experience you need to be driven, finally lots of changes happening in residency and so medical student experience does vary during this change."

"UCSF is an amazing graduate school. Their student services department is accessible and friendly, the faculty and administration are supportive and kind, and you will never meet a more diverse group of students. Cons about the school are simply that San Francisco is an expensive city to live in, but I don't think it is nearly as expensive as New York City or Los Angeles. Overall, I think UCSF would be an excellent choice for anyone looking to attend professional school in the health sciences. There is a niche for everyone at UCSF!"

"Overall, UCSF has a solid masters nursing program."

"Most wonderful place to go to medical school in the world!"
