Department Overview:
The Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care ranks as one of the largest departments in the School of Medicine, with an annual budget of $207 million. The three largest components of the annual revenue budget are Funds Flow Revenue, the affiliation agreement with the city and county of San Francisco, and Extramural Funds, which together represent 85.2% or $171 million. As of 2026, the department has over 200 Faculty members, 27 Staff Physicians, 200 Staff Employees, 6 Fellows, 90 Residents, 17 Non-Faculty Academics, 13 Post Docs, and 8 Nurse Practitioners. The department also works closely with 68 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). In addition to the Moffitt-Long Hospital, very active units of the department exist at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) (inpatient and outpatient, including an active trauma service); San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center (inpatient and outpatient); Mount Zion Medical Center (outpatient, including 23 hour stays); Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland; the UCSF Orthopedic Institute; the Benioff Children's, Betty Irene Moore Women's and Bakar Cancer (NIH-designated Cancer Center) Hospitals; and the Bayfront Medical Building (outpatient, Center for Pain Medicine) in the Mission Bay neighborhood. The Department now has essential roles in patient care outside of the operating rooms, with active participation in Ambulatory Care, Acute and Chronic Pain, and in the Preoperative Clinic. Since 1958, the department has been at the heart of modern anesthesia's explosive growth, and to this day continues to have an enormous impact on surgical practice and the management of pain. The department's research, education, and clinical care earned and have maintained reputations equal to or better than that of any institution in the world. Individual members of our faculty have had a major influence on our specialty both nationally and internationally, including NIH study sections, NIH funding, and FDA and Editorial Boards. Research activities within the department are integrated with and inform clinical practice. For many years, ours has been among the top departments in the United States for NIH research funding in anesthesia. % of time Essential Function (Yes/No)
