At UCSF

LGBTQ Student Association (LGBTQSA)
The LGBTQ Student Association is a registered campus organization consisting of both health science students and graduate students. This is a group that has also advocated for greater campus needs of LGBTQIA+ students, such as the inclusion of gender identity and sexual orientation in the admissions process. A large task of this group is the Annual LGBTQIA+ Health Forum, a unique student-organized program that provides attendees the opportunity to learn more about the healthcare needs of the LGBTQIA+ community and become better prepared to serve patients in the clinical setting. 

Graduate and Postdoc Queer Alliance (GPQA)
Graduate and Postdoc Queer Alliance (GPQA) seeks to create a support structure and community for LGBTQ+ individuals in academia, to heighten understanding of the interconnectedness of oppressive systems, and to highlight the importance of working together across multiple identities. GPQA serves LGBTQ+ people within the UCSF community (including graduate students, postdocs, specialists, faculty, staff) and their allies. Learn more about GPQA.

Pride in Medicine (PRIDE)
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.
