Note: You'll be prompted to activate your UCSF Handshake account if you haven't already.

Overview

This program is for first-year students in basic and biomedical science PhD programs at UCSF. We recommend it for first-year PhD students at any point in the process of lab rotations!

Wondering about doing a 4th rotation, what to do if you didn't like your first two rotations, or how to evaluate and compare labs? CPD's Researcher Team will be joined by senior students from various PhD programs to answer your questions on the topic of choosing a thesis lab. 

This Q&A session is an opportunity to ask specific questions or hear the stories of students who have already navigated this choice. Feel free to drop by anytime during the hour or stay for the whole time.

Office Hours with CPD

Office hours are held at least twice monthly, with virtual options and in-person events at the Mission Bay Campus. View our events calendar for future dates and times!


A note about our virtual events: We would like to welcome you, as and where you are, to our virtual events. If there are times you just don’t want to be on camera, feel free to attend this event with your camera and mic off. If you prefer to switch on your camera and participate that’s great too. And if this event just won’t work for you please remember you can always make an appointment with us at any time. 


UCSF welcomes all participants to our events. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event because of a disability, please contact Trish McGrath at [email protected] as soon as possible.
