Health Psychology is the scientific field that applies psychological
theory and methods to the study of the promotion and maintenance of
health and the prevention and treatment of illness.
The University of California, San Francisco initiated one of the first
graduate programs in Health Psychology in 1977. Since that time, UCSF
has had either a predoctoral or postdoctoral training program in Health
Psychology. UCSF has a large number of faculty actively involved in
Health Psychology research.
