Faculty positions include clinical work on the teaching, direct care, consult, and comanagement services at UCSF Health (Parnassus, Mount Zion, Mission Bay, UCSF at St. Mary’s Hospital), and also include dedicated time for faculty development and pursuit of academic interests.

This position includes daytime, nighttime, and swing shifts.
Cardiac Hospitalist
The Cardiac Hospitalist program is a collaboration between the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Cardiology at UCSF. Cardiac hospitalists staff 4 shifts on 2 distinct services: Advanced Heart Failure service (day and night coverage) and the General Cardiology service (swing, and night coverage).
The Advanced Heart Failure (AHF) service day hospitalist provides inpatient care to patients who have advanced heart failure, severe pulmonary hypertension, and those who are pre- and post-heart transplantation. The AHF Cardiologist and Hospitalist round on patients together and make medical decisions collaboratively in a co-management model. On the night shift, the hospitalist cross-covers and admits new patients to Advanced Heart Failure, Advanced Lung Disease, Cardiology post-procedure, and LVAD services.
The hospitalist roles on the General Cardiology service involves working collaboratively with the other members of the general Cardiology team, including cardiology attendings, fellows, residents, and APPs, to ensure outstanding medical care for cardiac patients. During the swing and night shifts, the hospitalist is responsible for triage of patients from the ED, new admissions, and cross-coverage of the patients on the service.
The Cardiac Hospitalist program is dedicated to providing excellent specialized medical care to patients with cardiac disease. The service exemplifies the unique spirit of collaboration between the Division of Hospital Medicine and Division of Cardiology at UCSF Medical Center.
Clinical Hospitalist
The UCSF Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF Health is seeking applicants for clinical-focus hospitalist positions. Our goal is to provide faculty members with clinical experiences that match their interests. Faculty positions include clinical work on the direct care, consult, comanagement, and ED triage services at UCSF Health clinical sites (Parnassus, Mission Bay, Mount Zion, and UCSF at St. Mary’s Hospital). This position includes daytime, nighttime, and swing shifts.
General Medicine Night Hospitalist
The Night Hospitalist Service (NHS) provides direct care to patients and supervises the patient care of internal medicine resident physicians overnight. The role offers a dynamic environment with a focus on comprehensive patient management and collaboration with other hospitalists.
NHS hospitalists primarily work at the UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at the Parnassus Heights campus and St. Mary’s Hospital. The hospitalists provide clinical care for 12-hour shifts overnight and sign out to the daytime direct care hospitalist teams and resident physician teams in the morning at each of these two sites. NHS hospitalists may also rarely work night shifts at the Mission Bay and Mt. Zion hospitals. Specific roles related to each site are included below.
Parnassus Heights Campus: Four night hospitalists are in-house with designated roles and responsibilities, including: triaging new admissions requests, admitting and cross-covering hospitalized patients, providing Medicine consults to patients on other clinical services, and supervising patients cared for by the Internal Medicine resident physicians at UCSF.
St Mary’s Campus: Two night hospitalists are in-house with designated roles and responsibilities, including triaging new admission and transfer requests, admitting and cross-covering hospitalized patients, providing Medicine consults to patients on other clinical services, supporting rapid responses, and directly staffing new admissions by the Internal Medicine resident physicians at St. Mary’s.
Mission Bay and Mount Zion Campuses: Hospitalists on night shifts at these campuses have responsibilities related to admitting new patients, cross-covering hospitalized patients, and providing medicine consults to patients on other services, with simplified scope relative to Parnassus Heights and St. Mary’s campuses.
Hematologic Malignancy, Bone Marrow Transplant, and Cellular Therapy (HBC) Hospitalist
The UCSF HBC (hematologic malignancy, bone marrow transplant, and cellular therapy) service is a collaborative service involving the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at UCSF. The service provides care to inpatients requiring bone marrow transplant or management of malignancies of the hematopoietic system (“liquid tumors”). The service admits approximately 1200 patients per year.
Created in July 2007, the HBC Service is staffed with a unique hybrid model involving collaborative care provided by both hospitalists and oncology faculty. The hospitalists on the HBC service are physicians trained in Internal Medicine who manage the day-to- day care of the patients while the oncology physicians provide the necessary oncologic expertise. The service is organized in teams involving an oncologist, a hospitalist, and a nurse practitioner.
The service is dedicated to providing the highest quality, safest, equitable, and most compassionate and patient-centered care. The HBC Service thrives on a team model, where nurses, pharmacists, and physicians work closely together to maximize patient-centered care.
Academic Hospitalist Medicine Fellow
The UCSF Hospital Medicine fellowships have been training leaders in hospital medicine for a decade, including several prominent members of the UCSF faculty and that of other major academic institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Candidates must have completed training in internal medicine at the time of fellowship entry. We offer three fellowship types, but this specific application page only applies to the 1-year UCSF Academic Hospital Medicine Fellowship (AHMF). For the application process on the other two types of fellowship, go to: https://ucsfhealthhospitalmedicine.ucsf.edu/fellowship-programs.
Individuals pursuing academic hospitalist careers but who do not aspire to grant-funded, largely protected time research oriented fellowships are appropriate for the UCSF AHMF. This one year fellowship is designed to teach hospitalists key skills in leadership, quality improvement, patient safety, curricular development, and medical education and teaching. The fellows spend about one-third of the year on clinical services including the main teaching service and the night hospitalist service (both teaching roles). All fellows enroll in a UCSF class which provides a basic introduction to clinical research. There is ample time to work on multiple projects and all fellows complete a project suitable for presentation and publication
