STRATEGIC PLAN PORTFOLIO

Our department’s Strategic Plan 2020-25 guides our shared commitment to a culture of innovation through collaboration and growth in all areas of our mission. Work on the strategic plan began in 2019 with two department-wide retreats and a series of workgroup sessions. This resulted in a clear department vision – Leading Imaging Innovation to Improve Health –and five strategic aims—

Five Strategic Aims

In the larger context of the School of Medicine and UCSF Health, our department’s strategic plan creates synergy in efforts to advance our shared mission. For example—

■ Radiology plays a critical role in patient care, and so an important strategic goal for the Department is partnering with UCSF Health to maintain its leadership in complex care, expand services regionally, and bring UCSF expertise close to where the patients live.

■ Leading innovation is a core mission for both our department and the institution, and so one of our strategic aims is to channel investments into team science and moonshots to drive imaging innovation to transform patient care.

■ Central to our Department and the institution is our people, and a key strategic aim for the department is to develop and empower diverse talents and support our diverse community of faculty, staff, and trainees to do their best work.

The following stories are a selection of efforts in 202122 that show the breadth and depth of how we’re delivering on the strategic plan. These are some of the many efforts underway across the department. Please follow our blog and social media accounts to learn more as it happens.
