This annual event is designed to promote research on important issues related to improving care provided to patients in family medicine and primary care settings. The Multi-Campus Research Forum (affectionately referred to as "Research Day") facilitates the exchange of scholarly activities and highlights the creative work conducted by residents, fellows, faculty, staff, and medical students from UCLA-Affiliated Family Medicine Residency programs.
This year's Research Day event will take place virtually on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, from 12:00pm to 4:30pm. Registration is required for all participants, including presenters. Once you have registered, you will be emailed the meeting ID and other information for joining the Zoom event. Please share the flyer (PDF) with anyone who is interested in attending.
In addition to our reknown Keynote Speaker (see below for more information), we have over 50 presentations this year from residents, fellows, medical students, staff, and faculty from our many UCLA-Affiliated Family Medicine Departments across Southern California, including California Hospital Medical Center Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, Dignity Health - Northridge Medical Center, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles, Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, Rio Bravo - Clinica Sierra Vista, Riverside County Medical Center, and the University of California Los Angeles.
