CBE currently offers four courses that teach entrepreneurship and business skills for life scientists and clinicians. Instructors of CBE courses are leading life science industry professionals, including prominent venture capitalists, attorneys, executives, and experienced entrepreneurs.
To receive optional academic credit for a CBE course, students must register through the UCSF Registrar's Office. Priority for space in the class goes to students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. Some spaces may be available for a fee to non-UCSF participants.
