Richard S. Breiman, MD, retired in
October 2011 after 10 years of service
to the Department of Radiology and
Biomedical Imaging.
Breiman received his medical
degree from UCSF in 1973. He completed a Diagnostic Radiology residency at Stanford University in 1979,
followed by CT and Ultrasound fellowships, also at Stanford University,
in 1976 and 1978. From 1979-1981,
Breiman was an assistant professor of
radiology at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, and a Clinical
Instructor of Radiology at UC Berkeley from 1982-1994. Concurrently he
served as volunteer clinical faculty at
UCSF from 1984-1987. He worked in
private practice as a radiologist and
partner at Pacific Imaging Consultants
from 1989-2001. He was appointed
assistant clinical professor in the
Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in July 2001, became
an associate clinical professor in 2003,
and was promoted to a clinical professor in 2007. He served as director
of the Henry I. Goldberg Center for
Advanced Imaging Education, and
more recently on the faculty at San
Francisco General Hospital.
“Dr. Breiman joined the Radiology faculty here at SFGH at a time of
need for our department. His willingness to cover several niches helped
us navigate through a rocky period
and to emerge as strong as ever,” said
Mark Wilson, MD, chief of Radiology
at SFGH. ”His warm demeanor, consummate professionalism, and dedication to radiology education will be
greatly missed at SFGH.” Breiman will
return to the department part-time on
a recall appointment to provide clinical coverage at the UCSF Ambulatory
Care Center.
