PEP Jobs' History

CPMC’s Epilepsy Program and the California Department of Rehabilitation established PEP Jobs in 2006 to help people with seizure disorders with employment preparation and with navigating their job search. The program is sponsored by California Pacific Medical Center. Additional partners include the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California and the epilepsy programs at UCSF Medical Center and Stanford Medical Center. We began working with individuals with brain injuries in 2010, partnering with clients from the Marin Brain Injury Network.
