Part of what makes the Bay Area unique is our incredibly diverse population. Our part of Northern California draws families from around the world – all of whom contribute to the vibrant setting so many of us are proud to call home. UCSF seeks to serve this population through the Pediatric International Clinic at our Oakland campus, where we offer preventive and primary care to babies, children and teens in a setting that is welcoming and culturally sensitive.

We provide interpreter services in multiple languages and dialects to facilitate communication and understanding of your child's health care plan. Our clinic's team is sensitive to community and cultural mores. We always provide options that take into account each family's particular dynamic and needs.

For families planning an international trip, our certified travel health physicians can provide health advice about vaccines, medicines and how to avoid insect-transmitted, food, and waterborne illness when traveling with children.
