<h2>Career and Professional Development Leadership Program (PhD students and Postdoctoral Scholars)</h2> <p>The goal of the Career and Professional Development Leadership Program is to foster a cohort of PhD students and postdocs with deep knowledge and training in career and professional development. These leaders then serve as liaisons, facilitators, peer advisors, and an advisory body for the Office of Career and Professional Development’s programs and services. Participants lead quarterly <a href="https://career.ucsf.edu/gsp/career-exploration/peer-teams" target="_blank">peer mentoring groups</a> on career/professional development topics; and develop new career and professional development initiatives, such as creating tailored resources/programs for BIPOC students/scholars; international students/scholars; and social and population scientists.</p> <p>Applications take place in the late spring/early summer; the program runs from approximately August through June each year. <a href="https://opportunities.ucsf.edu/content/ucsf-career-and-professional-development-internship-2-positions" target="_blank">See the 2022 application</a> and <a href="/listserv">register for our listserv</a> to be informed when applications open.

At UCSF, he is a member of Dr. Atul Butte’s lab, where he intends to develop methods to effectively stratify the differences in disease and drug response outcomes between populations with different social determinants to improve overall healthcare quality and equity. Jaysón primarily studies treatment utilization, and health outcomes of Type 2 Diabetes patients that are treated within the UC-Health system. He recently published a perspective piece titled: “From Genes to Geography, from Cells to Community, from Biomolecules to Behaviors: The Importance of Social Determinants of Health,” which describes the impact of using Social determinants of health in real-world evidence studies. Jaysón’s main aspirations of scientific impact doesn’t just involve research, but it involves effective communication of science to communities of color in which his research affects the most. He believes that Science Communication is the bridge that will connect scientists to everyday people to translate important findings in a digestible and useful way.</p> <p>While at UCSF, Jaysón has been selected as a UCSF-Stanford FDA CERSI Diversity scholar, NIGMS-IMSD program affiliate, and UCSF BE-STEM Co-president. Outside of UCSF, Jaysón is an E-Board Member of BlackinChem 501(c)3. He earned his B.S. in Biochemistry at Hampton University, and was initiated into the Beta Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. while playing Division I football and leading the team as captain.</p> <p>Check out <a href="/discomfort-networking-video-series">Jaysón’s networking video guide</a>!</p> </div> </div> <hr /> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--20-80"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first bg--transparent"> <p><img alt="Portrait of Daniela de Sousa Moura" height="300" src="/sites/g/files/tkssra2771/f/wysiwyg/Daniela_de_Sousa_MouraWeb.JPG" style="float:right" width="200" /></p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--second bg--transparent"> <p><strong>Daniela de Sousa Moura, UCSF Department of Neurology</strong></p> <p>I'm a Postdoc in Neuroscience and an intern at OCPD.

My name is Meiyi, and I'm a class of 2028 medical student. I grew up in the East Bay and graduated from Harvard College with a degree in Chemistry and Sociology. In my free time, I love trying new restaurants and writing Yelp reviews, crafting, and going on walks. I am very excited to support everyone on their educational and career development journeys. I can't wait to learn about your career goals and seek resources that will guide you along the way!</p> <p><strong>List of Meiyi's Professional Development Resource Projects:</strong></p> <ul> </ul> </div> <hr /></div> <hr /></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="region region-content-bottom"> <div id="block-views-events-block-1" class="block block-views view view-events view-id-events view-display-id-events_block topgreenline headspace"> <div class="content"> <div class="view view-events view-id-events view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-2e15407b320bfbc543f6fd12ef4d9f1d"> <div class="view-header"> <h2>Upcoming Events</h2> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="event"> <div class="event-image"> <div class="day"><span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2024-12-04T00:00:00-08:00" class="date-display-single">Wed</span></div> <div class="number-date"><span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2024-12-04T00:00:00-08:00" class="date-display-single">04</span></div> </div> <h3><a href="/events/ocpd-office-hours-graduate-students-and-postdocs-9">OCPD Office Hours (for Graduate Students and Postdocs)</a></h3> <div class="date"><strong>Date:</strong> <span property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2024-12-04T00:00:00-08:00" class="date-display-single">December 4, 2024</span></div> <div class="time"><strong>Time:</strong> 10 -
