Welcome to UCSF Health! 

These resources are to help guide you through the first week of orientation at UCSF Health. The goal of orientation is to introduce staff to UCSF Health’s policies, procedures, practices to have the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide safe and quality patient care.
