Postdocs Address Range of Issues

By Bryne Ulmschneider

Ostensibly, the ultimate goal of academic training is a tenure track faculty position.   Unfortunately, these expectations don’t match reality. Only about 25 percent of UCSF’s postdoc scholars will ultimately make it to a tenure track position.

Life of a Dental Student: Third Year

By Synapse
I didn’t know what to expect, because when I was choosing between my undergrad and UCSF, I knew if I went to my undergrad I’d be with all my friends and it’d be really familiar because I’d been there a lot, so UCSF was a totally new experience. So far, I’m definitely happy with my choice. I like that there are different health professional students and faculty you can interact with because at my undergrad’s dental school campus it’s just the dental school.

Life of a Dental Student: Fourth Year

By Synapse
One of my favorite things about UCSF is that it’s a pass/fail system, so it’s not like undergrad. I can spend more time learning the material conceptually and have more time to get involved with the things I’m passionate about—community outreach, research and clinical services. My peers are extremely intelligent and I’m proud to have them as my future colleagues. The location is also amazing … it’s California; you can’t complain.
