Welcome to PreMed 101, UC Berkeley's premiere premedical decal. PreMed 101 is a course designed and operated by a group of UCSF & UC Berkeley students with one goal: to offer those who intend to pursue a life as a medical professional a taste of that life and to arm them with the information necessary for success at the undergraduate level.

PreMed 101 was founded in the Fall of 2003 by several students who felt that UC Berkeley premed students , for various reasons, were severely disadvantaged in the medical school application process. Furthermore, they were concerned that many students had unrealistic expectations about careers in healthcare.

Now into its 13th semester, PreMed 101 has become a collaborative effort between UCSF & UC Berkeley students. Over the years, PreMed 101 has not only offered premeds the information they need to succeed, but has also secured for its students shadowing opportunities with physicians, jobs in emergency rooms, and even basic science research positions at Lawrence Berkeley Labs.

 


PreMed 101 UCSF Contacts

The following contacts are UCSF students who have been kind enough to offer their contact information for your benefit. Please be courteous and respectful when you email them for their assistance. Remember that they receive no compensation for their time or effort and are doing this because they'd like to help. The life of medical students can be very busy so if someone you email doesn't get back to you right away or at all, don't take it personally. Just choose someone else to email. Generally, the people at the top of the list are more receptive to responding to email than the people at the bottom.

DO NOT EMAIL/SPAM UCSF STUDENTS FOR CLASS LOGISTICS. THEY DO NOT OPERATE THE COURSE & ARE THUS INAPPROPRIATE TO EMAIL FOR THAT PURPOSE.
