Program Description

The UCSF Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) Postdoctoral Training Program is a research-intensive, two-year training experience that prepares clinician-scientists to become leaders in clinical pharmacology research within academia, industry, and government. The program seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. The program meets the fellowship training expectations set forth by the American Board of Clinical Pharmacology (ABCP) and is a registered member of ABCP. We anticipate that 80 percent of our graduates will obtain board certification in clinical pharmacology.

Fellowship funding comes from National Institute of General Medical Sciences and National Institute of Child Health and Development T32 training grants as well as the UCSF School of Pharmacy Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Dean’s Office.
