PUP is a clinical and translational research program for undergraduates.
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) offers a summer clinical research training program for undergraduate students who are planning to attend dental, medical, nursing, pharmacy or physical therapy professional schools after graduation, and who have an interest in a career in clinical research. Students are paired with a UCSF professional student. A principal component of training is a course in designing clinical research which trains students to evaluate the medical literature and to design clinical and translational research studies.
