Harbor-UCLA Department of Emergency Medicine Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Scholarship for Visiting Students 

The Department of Emergency Medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is committed to recruiting & training individuals who represent the diverse patient populations we serve and who are interested in becoming leaders of and advocates for their communities. 

We seek to enhance diversity within the specialty of Emergency Medicine and recruit leaders who are interesting in joining our efforts to develop departmental & hospital-wide initiatives and research related to diversity, inclusion, social determinants of health, implicit bias, health equity, and social justice. 

In support of this mission, we are excited to offer financial support to fourth-year medical students interested in rotating in our emergency department during a sub-internship. A scholarship amount of up to $2,000 will be awarded to up to 12 individuals to offset costs of travel expenses and lodging that may otherwise prohibit applicants from rotating with us.
