Susan Sall, Director of Service Center A

Susan Sall brings over 10 years experience working in health care and research to her new role as Director of Service Center A in the new UCSF Human Resources service center.  Susan has almost eight years of diverse experience in various departments at UCSF including manager roles in the Department of Radiology, the Department of Physiology and most recently in the Department of Ophthalmology.  Along with her management experience, Susan brings an extensive education including a Masters of Health Administration as well as several honors at UCSF.  Her commitment to the broader UCSF community can be seen in her participation in various committees including the Safety Committee, the Research Administration Board, and membership in ABOG. 

When asked Susan what she is most looking forward to in this new role she said she felt that while organizational change is difficult, it is an opportunity for us to work more efficiently and cohesively; moving ahead in the administration of research, patient care and teaching.  She wants to consistently see that departments have outstanding human resource support done in a cost effective way with employees that are challenged and appreciated.  We also asked what may be the most challenging aspect to which Susan respondedthat communication is typically the biggest struggle- saying  the right thing at the right time to the right people.  There has been a tremendous amount of uncertainly within the staff, and she’s looking forward to everyone knowing their role and hopes we can see opportunity when faced with unexpected outcomes.   

Please join us in welcoming Susan to her new role!
