SOM Dean's Office Strategic Programs & Digital Innovation
Providing practical, holistic, and measurable solutions across the School of Medicine

About Us
The Strategic Programs & Digital Innovation (P&I) team, formerly known as SOM Tech, has evolved to support a broader and more strategic scope of initiatives within the UCSF School of Medicine Dean’s Office.
We’re a collaborative team committed to advancing the SOM’s mission areas through transformation and innovation. With three focus areas – Digital Innovation, Strategic Programs, and Strategic Services - we aim to deliver practical, holistic, and measurable solutions on departmental and enterprise initiatives for the SOM.
We’ve led the way on process and change management activities including the SOM Strategic Plan, Project One, and MyTime.
We can help with:
- Technology, application, and cybersecurity needs for faculty, staff, and learners
- Strategic programs aligned with SOM Dean’s Office priorities, supporting business process design and implementation
- Exploratory work in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence use cases across our mission areas
