The School of Medicine Dean’s Office of Graduate Medical Education appoints interns, residents and clinical fellows with patient care activities as part of their training. The appointment data is recorded in the OLPPS-RFS database. The Resident and Clinical Fellow Appointment System (RFS) within OLPPS is a distributed database that allows users in department/division/program-level units to view, enter and change appointment data.

RFS is the official record of appointment, housestaff credentialing and rotation data for residents and clinical fellows. Postdoctoral research fellows, visiting scholars, medical students doing clerkships, postgraduate researchers and clinical instructors are not included in RFS.

The School of Medicine Dean’s Office, UCSF and Mt. Zion Medical Staff Offices, UCSF Medical Center Reimbursement Office, the UC Office of the President, the San Francisco General Hospital Medical Staff Office and Dean’s Office, and others all use the data from RFS.

For any questions about RFS and how to access it or how to use it, please refer to the RFS manual or contact GME at 476-4562.
