UCLA PUBLIC HEALTH SCHOLARS TRAINING PROGRAM

TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERS

A CDC John R. Lewis Undergraduate Scholars Program

Who We Are:

The UCLA Public Health Scholars Training Program provides undergraduate students from across the country the opportunity to explore the field of public health through hands-on training, structured workshops, group activities volunteering events, mentorship, and leadership and professional development.

What We Do:

We recognize Public Health happens outside of the classroom. To promote experiential learning, our program works with community-based organizations, health systems, government agencies, and others to offer scholars the unique opportunity to “learn by doing” public health in a large, urban city.

Through internship experiences that focus on health equity, scholars work to advance the health of underserved populations by learning about the communities our partners serve, engaging with community members, and exploring the Los Angeles landscape while commuting on public transportation.

To supplement their field work, scholars attend workshops, develop leadership and professional skills, and receive mentoring from graduate students and faculty at the Fielding School of Public Health.

Our goal is for scholars to expand their life skills, adopt a growth mindset, and prepare to navigate an every-changing world and workforce as resilient public health minded professionals invested in creating healthy futures for all.
