EXPAND OUR REACH

New Digital Signage

A new digital display project for the China Basin waiting room flatscreens is now up and running, displaying faculty profiles and patient education information. This effort to connect with patients was originally conceived by the department Patient Experience Group including Orit Glenn, MD, Vicki Feldstein, MD, Sean Woolen, MD, and Heather Nichols, former director of process improvement. Many thanks also to our team of dedicated staff, including Mabel Zelaya, Francis Horan, and Rita Gaber who have brought the idea to fruition.

The digital display shows explanatory videos about imaging procedures and other patient resources that help alleviate patient anxiety about their exams and build trust between our patients and providers. Additionally, the digital display showcases our faculty photos and bios to engage and connect patients to the people in the department and their work. Our goal is to communicate the unique value UCSF Imaging brings to our patients and community.

Faculty Service

In the last several years, our faculty have had visible leadership roles in the health system, Academic Senate, School of Medicine, and systemwide committees, including service as Academic Senate Chair, and Chairs of SOM Faculty Council, Committee on Space, Academic Planning and Budget, Committee on Equal Opportunity, and Executive Council.

Faculty service data for Figure 1 and Table 1 was compiled by the Academic Affairs team.

Since FY19, our faculty have served on a broad cross-section of committees, increasing the external visibility of our department.
