Medical Assistant (Former Employee) – San Francisco, CA – September 23, 2018
I loved working at Ucsf. I had a lot of job advancement and was able to increase my skill set while working there. Everyone is always willing to help and teach, from the MA’s to the Doctors. I honestly enjoyed working here and I’d definitely go back.
Patients' safety first and Career advancement
Patient Care Assistant (Current Employee) – San Francisco, CA – September 13, 2018
Team starts to huddle before the start of the shift to quickly talk about a daily update about the unit. Being able to be aware of what to expect for the day really helps everyone to be able to apply it for patient care and be able to focus on patients' safety. Teamwork is what I love about this job. You will never feel alone, you will always have someone to help you whenever you feel lost and also lets you grow and learn everyday

N/A (Current Employee) – Oakland, CA – July 5, 2018
As an affiliate, I do not know the working conditions of being a UCSF employee. I can only review from my experiences. The feeling that my work and opinion was not valued crossed my mind a few times, but I do my best to get the work done and provide excellent customer service.
