Prior to appointment as a Fellow, the applicant must be appointed to the Medical Staff of the UCLA Hospital. Therefore, upon receipt of an approved initial candidate application package, the Department's Academic Personnel Office (APO) will notify the CVO to send the candidate a medical staff application. (Processing of application usually takes 3 - 4 months.) The Department's APO can assist the candidate on how to complete the application and review it for accuracy and completeness.

UCLA Medical Staff membership and privileges automatically terminates at the conclusion of the AST training period.
