Information for Patients

Welcome to the UC San Diego (UCSD) Health Sciences "Request for Clinical Data" site. UCSD is committed to protecting patients' medical information. UCSD is also a research institution. In accordance with state and federal privacy laws, patient information may be used and disclosed only to doctors and health care personnel who are involved in the patient's medical care or payment for patient care, and to other authorized personnel for UCSD's own health care operations, such as performance improvement, and for approved research studies. All research projects conducted by UCSD must be approved through a special review process to protect patient safety, welfare and confidentiality.
