Delivering the welcome address at this year’s UCSF School of Medicine commencement at Davies Symphony Hall yesterday, Dean Talmadge E. King, Jr., MD, commended 156 graduates as “Students who raised awareness and spurred us to action through their initiatives, and who showed us there is no health without social justice.”
Insights from students and faculty were shared with commencement attendees within the context of social and political transition in the U.S., with a vision for better, more equitable healthcare for our patients and communities.
