Biography
Gregory P. Victorino, M.D. is Professor and Chief of the UCSF East Bay Surgery Program. He is also Chair of the Department of Surgery for Alameda Health System.
Victorino, a highly regarded trauma surgeon, and professor of surgery. Formerly, while the Director of Trauma Services at Highland Hospital, his leadership was crucial to the designation of Highland Hospital, the flagship of Alameda Health System, as a Level 1 Trauma Center serving the East Bay.
Victorino has deep roots in the community with a strong record of clinical outreach. In 2016, he was named Outstanding Physician of the Year by the Alameda Health System. He is also a dedicated teacher and mentor to UCSF-East Bay general surgery residents, and a respected thought leader. His body of professional work includes more than 80 peer-reviewed publications.
Victorino completed his undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley in 1986 and earned his MD at the University of Pittsburgh. He returned to the Bay Area in 1991, completing a general surgery residency at UC Davis-East Bay in 1998, followed by a trauma-critical care fellowship at UC Davis. Soon thereafter, he joined the UCSF Department of Surgery as a faculty member.
