UCSP offered me my first meaningful and in-depth clinical research experience. Not only did I get to complete my own project by working one-on-one with an amazing clinician researcher as my mentor, but I also got to make lasting (and silly) memories with the people in my cohort. Thanks to this program, I've been able to find my passion in epi research and my network of future physicians. - Jacqueline '19, University of Maryland
The community, mentorship and exposure I experienced as part of UCSP was life-changing. I learned so much not just about clinical research but also the actual life of a doctor. With the crazy amount of support from my fellow scholars and my mentors, I can honestly say I have far more confidence in both my ability to apply to medical school and conduct clinical research. I am both lucky and thankful for the UCSP family that I have been so warmly welcomed into and the strength of those ties carry on much farther than just the summer. - Janeline '19, University of Southern California
UCSP has allowed me to become adept at clinical research and practicing efficiency and skill as a scientist. This program is truly interactive and highly engaging as you apply what you learn in the lectures and laboratory sessions to your projects. As a 2x UCSP grad, I can proudly say clinical research has now become a haven for me." - Isabella '18 and '19, Howard University
This summer, I grew both academically and personally through UCSP. From lectures and workshops, I learned an incredible amount about epidemiology and biostatistics as well as how to apply the conceptual knowledge to research. Witnessing such concepts come to life through my research project deepened my understanding and interest in conducting research. Also, I'm grateful I got to know my peers and mentors through UCSP. I enjoyed hanging out with my peers who are all amazing and talented individuals. Moreover, UCSP faculty's passion for research, outreach, and education has encouraged me to continue pursuing medical career. I'm glad I had the opportunity to participate in this incredible program and make lasting connections with incredible people! - Narin '19, Emory University
The sheer amount of effort, teaching, and guidance that UCSP gave us throughout the program was truly impressive. Aside from the great background on clinical research and epidemiology that we received through the interactive lectures and from our mentors, I genuinely feel like I’ve learned plenty about my personal career path and formed lasting connections with an amazing group of people.” - Julian '21, Amherst College
