The Physician-Scientist Career Development Program (PSCDP)
The Physician-Scientist Career Development Program (PSCDP), established in 2021, is proud to serve as a central resource for UCSF physician-scientists at the residency, fellowship, and junior faculty stages. Our program is designed to support, promote, and enhance research and career development opportunities for physician-scientists across the Departments of Medicine, Neurology, and Pediatrics.
The PSCDP focuses on three key areas:
- Building a diverse and thriving physician-scientist community
- Providing specialized training and mentorship tailored to the laboratory-based physician-scientist career path
- Creating opportunities for career growth and advancement
We offer a centralized hub of resources for physician-scientist trainees and regularly host career development, networking, and mentorship events for the laboratory-based physician-scientist community. Our mission is to increase visibility, transparency, and support for this challenging yet deeply rewarding career path.
