UCSF Graduation

Yesterday, members of the UCSF Class of 2010 received their medical degrees. Families cheered. Students breathed a sigh of relief and excitement. Unlike college graduations, there's a greater sense of commitment and responsibility, and an emotional ending akin to finishing one leg of a marathon. Medical school is difficult in many senses...it is difficult to apply to medical school, accept more loans, and journey through the clinical years before applying to residencies. This difficulty underscores the fact that none of the students graduating yesterday could have accomplished anything without the support of family, friends, and teachers.

Thank you to everyone, especially my mom and dad.

Hi Stephanie,

Congrats!

My name is Roberta Martins and I am a graduate student in Industrial Design at Academy of Art University of San Francisco. I am currently developing my thesis project, which is a home care product that aids women to effectively perform their breast self-examinations, in order to find cancer in its early stage and higher the chances of the patient to survive breast cancer. I am in the middle of research phase, and I am looking for technologies that could be suitable for my product, at this point.


I would really appreciate if you could give me some advices (where to go, who should I contact with… Is there a student center where I could contact students and see if someone would be interested in working on this topic with me?)


Your help would be priceless,


Thank you so much,


Roberta Martins
