The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is a center of health sciences research, patient care, and education; located in San Francisco, California, and is widely regarded as one of the world's leading universities in health sciences.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Ranking of World Universities by Broad Subject Fields – 2012 )〕 Though one of the 10 campuses of the University of California, it is the only UC school dedicated solely to graduate education, and in health and biomedical sciences. Some of UCSF's treatment centers include kidney transplants and liver transplantation, radiology, neurosurgery, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, gene therapy, women's health, fetal surgery, pediatrics, and internal medicine. With a work force of 22,800 people and annual economic impact of $2 billion, UCSF is San Francisco's second largest employer. Founded in 1873, the mission of UCSF is to serve as a "public university dedicated to saving lives and improving health." The UCSF Medical Center is consistently ranked among the top 10 hospitals in the United States by ''U.S. News & World Report'', who also ranked UCSF's medical school as one of the top 10 in a number of specialties, including a specialty program in AIDS medical care ranked first in the country. ==History== UCSF traces its history to Hugh H. Toland, a South Carolina surgeon who found great success and wealth after moving to San Francisco in 1852.〔(Hugh Huger Toland (1806–1880) ), UCSF, ''Accessed October 6, 2010.''〕 A previous school, the Cooper Medical College of the University of Pacific (founded 1858), entered a period of uncertainty in 1862 when its founder, Elias Samuel Cooper, died.〔 In 1864, Toland founded a new medical school, Toland Medical College, and the faculty of Cooper Medical College chose to suspend operations and join the new school.〔(A History of UCSF: San Francisco's First Medical Institutions ), UCSF, ''Accessed October 6, 2010.''〕 The University of California was founded in 1868, and by 1870 Toland Medical School began negotiating an affiliation with the new public university.〔 Meanwhile, some faculty of Toland Medical School elected to reopen the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, which would later become Stanford University School of Medicine.〔(Chronology of the Stanford University Medical Center ), Stanford School of Medicine, ''Accessed June 11, 2007.''〕 Negotiations between the Toland and the UC were complicated by Toland's demand that the medical school continue to bear his name, which he finally conceded.〔 In March 1873, the trustees of Toland Medical College transferred it to the Regents of the University of California, and it became "The Medical Department of the University of California."〔(A History of UCSF: University Affiliation ), UCSF, ''Accessed October 10, 2010.''〕 The school's first female student, Lucy Wanzer, graduated in 1876, after having to appeal to the UC Board of Regents to gain admission in 1873.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://history.library.ucsf.edu/1868_hospitals.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of California, San Francisco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
