Fellowship Opportunities

Apply to the Fellowship

Over the years, many outstanding trainees from diverse backgrounds have contributed to our team’s scientific work. Here are examples of our past trainees.

We seek highly-motivated MD students with excellent work ethic to join our research team. Trainees will work in a scientifically rigorous, engaging environment, where they will also interact with our diverse research patients. The trainees will learn clinical research methodologies, conduct clinical studies, and have the opportunity to publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

We especially encourage trainees (UCLA or non-UCLA) interested in year-long research opportunities to apply. For those interested in year-long research opportunities, please apply as early as possible because applications are evaluated on a rolling basis. We also encourage trainees (UCLA or non-UCLA) interested in dedicated summer research opportunities to apply.

Please send your application to camilacarranza@mednet.ucla.edu. In your email, include the following items:

1. 1-Page Cover Letter stating why you are interested in our research team and your career goals. Please describe any prior research experience and any connections to the Southern California/Los Angeles area.
2. Resume or CV (including USMLE scores, if applicable)
3. Undergraduate and Medical School Transcripts (unofficial is fine)
4. MCAT Score

• Applicants must be U.S. citizens or U.S. residents who are actively enrolled in a U.S. medical school/graduate school.
• We seek applicants who are able to commit to a full-time, year long position with our research team for the academic year. We are unfortunately do not accept applicants seeking summer-only or ad hoc research opportunities.
