Seminar in Psychology and Medicine

The postdoctoral seminars consist of presentations by "Psychology and Medicine" faculty or guest speakers focusing on their current research, how they came to study the questions they do, and what theoretical perspectives they bring. Speakers discuss where they are going and reflect on the process of research, including ethical issues, methodological or statistical challenges.

The seminars meet on Tuesdays from 8:30 am to 10:00 am in room 474 (unless otherwise indicated) at the Laurel Heights Campus, 3333 California St., 4th floor. If interested in attending, please call 415-476-7285 or email HealthPsychology@ucsf.edu for further information.
