In Their Own Words
From their memorable experiences to how it feels to graduate in the time of COVID-19, hear from our graduates about what they are taking with them as they leave UCSF and begin the next chapter of their careers.
Congrats from Our Community
While we can’t celebrate in person this year, UCSF is no less proud of this next generation of health care professionals and scientists. See the social media celebration, including some special cameos!
