Description
The UCLA NRSA Primary Care and Health Services Fellowship and the Greater Los Angeles VA Ambulatory Care Fellowship share a common vision, recruitment process and administration. The fellowship stresses development of primary or ambulatory medicine physicians into independent investigators in health services research or epidemiology. This is accomplished through formal class work in the UCLA School of Public Health, an informal series of seminars led by local experts, and the development, implementation, and completion of an original, independent research project. Mentors include well-known investigators from the UCLA Divisions of General Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and Pediatrics, the GIM sections at the VAMCs, the UCLA School of Public Health and the RAND Health Program. These institutions encourage a collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment most likely to foster successful health services research in almost any aspect of health services or health policy including: access to care, quality of care, clinical epidemiology, preventive care, women's health, clinical ethics, and the care of patients with specific diseases or psychosocial problems.
