Diversity in Medicine Visiting Student Scholarship
The Department of Radiation Oncology is excited to announce that we will again be offering the Diversity in Medicine – Visiting Student Elective Stipend. This opportunity was created to serve as a recruitment tool for senior medical students who hail from underrepresented experiences and backgrounds and have an interest in applying to the UCLA Radiation Oncology residency program. The $1,500 stipend opportunity supports travel and lodging expenses and additional funding support for $1,000 to four 4th year out of state and in-state medical students. All are encouraged to apply.
The AAMC defines diversity “broadly to include all aspects of human differences including but not limited to socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, geography (including rural and highly rural areas), disability, and age.” https://www.aamc.org/about-us/mission-areas/medical-education/diversity-medical-school-admissions
