About Us

Pride in Medicine (PRIDE) works to enhance the climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer-identifying (LGBTQ) individuals and enrich the career and personal development of these individuals in the School of Medicine. Our mission is (1) to promote a welcoming and inclusive institutional community for LGBTQ medical students and (2) to enhance mentorship and networking opportunities for LGBTQ medical trainees to connect with LGBTQ medical professionals including residents, alumni, staff, and faculty. In addition to serving the School of Medicine, PRIDE works with the UCSF LGBT Resource Center and the inter-professional LGBTQ Student Association to support leadership and research efforts toward serving sexual minority patient populations.
