Mentorship/Sponsorship, Students & Postdocs

Because Your PI/Advisor Isn’t Enough: students & postdocs don’t need a mentor – they need five of them.

October 25, 2014

I’m the Director of OCPD, the career and professional development office at the University of California San Francisco (career.ucsf.edu). We serve health professional/graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in the biomedical sciences.

I write about four things:

1) Questions I’ve been asked about work (usually so I can keep links)

2) Career and professional development issues affecting graduate and professional students and postdoctoral scholars

3) Establishing and building a career development office on a university campus, and

4) My team’s ongoing efforts to implement organizational management best practices to build a high functioning, healthy office that we actually want to work in (because if we can’t do it as career and professional development professionals, who can?)
