Career Exploration & Education in the Health Sciences

One of the core missions of CEP is to broaden the pipeline for talented students to enter the fields of health care and research.

Currently three programs support this mission, with two more under development.

The Program for Investigating and Training for Careers in Health (PITCH) brings rising high school juniors to UCSF for three weeks each summer for first-hand exploration of various health careers as well as skill development targeted at increasing their success in college and career pursuits.

The faculty, students, fellows, and staff of UCSF represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise in a wide variety of health and science topics.
