Transfusion Medicine Faculty provide medical oversight and medical direction for blood transfusion services at all four UCSF Hospitals (Parnassus, Mission Bay and Mt.

The physician team consists of five physicians, with this recruitment focused on a Medical Director primarily overseeing services at UCSF facilities in the West Bay.

Our Transfusion Service Laboratories issue more than 50,000 blood products per year and support a wide range of organ and bone marrow transplant, critical care, and surgical services for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. This position may also involve work in cell therapy development for clinical and translational research use. This effort is led by the Cell Therapy GMP lab, managed by Laboratory Medicine faculty.

The successful candidate will work with other Transfusion Medicine Faculty to implement the academic mission of the UCSF Clinical Pathology service, which includes training of residents and fellows.
