Surgical Training Facility (STF)

The Surgical Training Facility (STF) at the San Francisco General Hospital is dedicated to the development and presentation of innovative medical, health, and science workshops.

Our facility is among a select few academic centers in the United States designed exclusively for surgeons to practice and perform today's newest and most advanced surgical procedures.

Our laboratory works with leading researchers, engineers, and physicians, often in partnership with medical device and prosthesis manufacturers, to provide hands-on training in the latest surgical procedures and technologies.

The STF offers top-of-the-line technology with the most comprehensive advanced imaging of any academic surgical training facility in the United States.

Our facility is available for training, meetings, and educational courses, and is suitable for a variety of audiences. Courses can be linked to external locations, offering state-of-the-art learning opportunities.
