With an advanced degree from UCSF, a wide range of careers will be open to you. Don't wait until the last year of your program to prepare for what comes after - start now.
Are you unsure which career path to choose? Or perhaps you know where you want to go, but not how to get there. Gain insights through career exploration; learn about effective job search strategies; or hone your interviewing skills, by taking full advantage of the robust resources offered by the Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD). Be sure to sign up for OCPD's listserv, to find out about future workshops and programs.
Share your insights with the campus community, flex your creative muscles, and hone your communications skills at the same time, by writing for the student news website, Synapse.
Get leadership experience and connect with your peers by participating in student government, or even become a student regent. Student Life can help show you how.
Sometimes, it really is "who you know." Build relationships that will boost your career success and expand your professional networks now. It's never too early (or too late) to join UCSF Connect, the official social networking platform of the campus and alumni community.
Many campus offices continue to operate on a hybrid in-person/remote basis due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Please check with individual student services offices about how to access their services.
