Directions to UCSF C309, M380, S-157, S-163: Take the N-Judah to the UCSF Medical Center stop at 4th Ave and Irving. Take elevators at MRSC or parking garage to Parnassus street level. To go to room C309, look across the street for entrance signs for 521 Parnassus -- may be obscured by construction, look for the entrance 100 yards to the right of the Blue USPS Box. Enter and turn right, take first bank of elevators on left to 3rd floor. Go left off the elevator and follow the hallway to C309.

Rooms S-157 and S-163 are through the main, 513 Parnassus entrance (multiple double doors). Walk all the way to the back of the building from that entrance to the first floor classrooms.

For room M380, enter at the smaller 513 Parnassus entrance (has one set of double doors to right of main entrance). Walk straight ahead to the elevators, and ride to the 3rd floor. Off elevator, go left and then take an immediate right. Follow the corridor around to the right, then take the first left through double doors into Moffit Hospital. M380 will be on your left in this corridor.

Directions to SKI: The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Institute at 2318 Fillmore St.: There is a shuttle bus from the UCSF Parnassus campus to the UCSF Divisadaero Street campus which is relatively close, or take the N-Judah to Church / Duboce, transferring to the 22-Fillmore bus to Pacific Heights. Call the front desk (345 2000) for further information.
