This program is for first year students in basic and biomedical science PhD programs at UCSF.

Overview

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? OCPD’s Researcher Team – Drs. Ray Care and David Blancha – will be joined by senior students from our Career and Professional Development Leadership Internship to answer your questions on the topic of choosing a thesis lab. We look forward to meeting you in person!  

This workshop is recommended for first-year PhD students at any point in the process of rotations. We’d love to see you even if you aren’t able to attend the Choosing a Thesis Lab workshop!  

Format

Bring any questions that you have, or just come for support and community with others going through the same process. Multiple career counselors and peer mentors will be on hand for conversations and questions over informal lunch.
