Gastroenterology Clinician

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS) are seeking applications for academic positions in the Gastroenterology Section at the San Francisco VA. We are in search of an outstanding clinician who will participate in clinical and teaching activities in our outpatient clinics and inpatient wards.

The San Francisco VA Health Care System provides health services to Veterans through the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) and seven community-based outpatient clinics. Our GI programs have expanded, generating an exciting opportunity to provide more specialty care for patients who are seen at our community based clinics. The gastroenterologist will devote their effort to patient care in general gastroenterology and endoscopy, as well as academic work in research, quality improvement, medical education, program development or another academic area. Applicants will have demonstrated clinical excellence along with aptitude for scholarship in clinical and educational endeavors aligned with the missions of the Division, UCSF, and the SFVAHCS.

Highlights of this role include:
• A supportive and truly interdisciplinary team where each member is an equal contributor
• Dedicated and gifted faculty and staff and outstanding trainees at all levels (medical students, residents, and fellows)
• Academic environment with commitment to excellence in patient care, education, and research
• Institutional culture that is highly receptive and friendly to patient care
• Protected time for academic work and a structured curriculum for faculty career development
• Diverse patient population

The division has a strong commitment to the achievement of excellence and diversity among its faculty and staff. We welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, mentoring, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence.

This individual will receive an academic appointment at UCSF in either the HS Clinical or Clinical X series, at a rank (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) commensurate with their experience. They will report directly to the Chief of Gastroenterology at SFVAHCS. Applicants will have an MD, a current medical license, and board-certification in Internal Medicine.
