Volunteers come to UCSF Medical Center, UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital for many reasons but most come to help others and contribute to the community. In addition, volunteers can learn about the medical profession and to be a part of a team dedicated to providing the highest quality health care.
Please note that orientations are currently full. Information regarding 2012 orientations will be available the first week of December 2011.
