The Mobile Clinic Project at UCLA is now accepting applications for the 2024-2025 caseworking class! 

Community cultivates connection. The Mobile Clinic Project at UCLA aims to improve the health outcomes and quality of life of the unhoused community in the greater Los Angeles area by providing direct medical and social services and making sincere connections through listening to and centering client stories. Caseworkers work directly with individuals experiencing homelessness, serving as advocates for clients who attend our streetside clinic.

The Utopias Podcast with Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan

In the wake of an era where alarmism and crisis branding sells — whether in relation to climate change, new technologies, or polarization —  we have a huge opportunity to embrace our capacity for innovation, empathy, and compassion towards one another.  To get there it is high time to have creative, productive, and truly progressive conversations about our planetary future, and approach such from every discipline and perspective we can.

I hope you are all doing well. LCCM, the Latinx/Chicanx for Community Medicine organization at UCLA, is a pre-health organization dedicated to the retention of underrepresented pre-health students. One of the events we host in order to accomplish this goal is our annual pre-health conference where students from high schools, undergraduates, post-bacc programs, and community colleges can learn about the different health professions. There will be a variety of workshops for professional development, career exploration, and networking opportunities that anyone can benefit from!

On behalf of the Latinxs/Chicanxs for Community Medicine at UCLA, we would like to invite students to attend our 20th Annual Conference, “Sembrando Raíces: Igniting your Path to Success”, on Saturday, April 27th, 2024 which will be hosted at the David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, CA. 

We are conducting a research study to learn how caring messages may help Latine/x transfer students engage with mental health services. We are compensating each individual with a $25 e-gift card for their participation in a 60-90 minute focus group interview. If you believe this may be of interest to you/others, please share the attached study flyer. Individuals who are interested in participating should email Njaramillo@mednet.ucla.edu.

Thank you and we appreciate your time!
