The three-year plan for UCSF aims to establish the institution as the world's preeminent Health Sciences innovator. It outlines five key goals: providing unparalleled patient care, improving health through innovative science, attracting and supporting diverse talent in health sciences, becoming the workplace of choice, and creating a financially sustainable business model to support its public mission.

This plan addresses UCSF's critical financial challenges, aiming to secure its future and achieve preeminence. It responds to rising costs outpacing revenues, which could lead to a deficit by 2015. The plan focuses on three key tenets: evaluating new growth opportunities to generate revenue, optimizing UCSF's financial relationship with the UC system to manage costs and avoid certain taxation models, and exploring alternative governance models to enhance flexibility and responsiveness in a competitive environment.
