Job Description
Operator Services is an integral part of the Medical Center. The Operator Services Unit is the "front door" into the Medical Center and School of Medicine for both the community and those throughout the world seeking information indigenous to the UCSF Medical Center. Operator Services staff answers both internal and external calls for the Medical Center and School of medicine, providing detailed information from everything ranging from staff listings to studies being held within the graduate schools. Operator Services also provides patient information after hours.
