UCLA Obstetrics & Gynecology Visiting Student Scholarship Application 

The UCLA Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology recognizes the importance of workforce diversity that reflects the patient populations we serve, that provides culturally sensitive patient-centered care, and that addresses healthcare inequities. The UCLA Visiting Student Scholarship Program is intended to provide financial support for two senior-level U.S. medical students on an OBGYN elective at the UCLA main campus location. These students must demonstrate an interest in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare professions, in fostering efforts to reduce healthcare inequities, and in the pursuit of social justice.
