Ucla Olive View Fellowship Match

UCLA-Ronald Reagan/Olive View Emergency Medicine Residency Program. Chair of UCLA Emergency Medicine Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine. Opportunities 'There are unlimited opportunities from being a part of UCLA, a resource-rich, internationally and academically renowned university. Our faculty is also incredibly diverse.

The Access and Innovation in Medical Education (AIME) Fellowship is a collaboration between the UCLA Department of Emergency Medicine and EM:RAP.

AIME is a 1-2 year non-clinical fellowship with three main objectives:

• Developing innovative teaching tools and delivery approaches to expand access to dynamic and engaging educational content for emergency medicine residency training programs throughout the world.
• Training excellent educators and future leaders in emergency medicine teaching internationally, while providing support for the development of local faculty educators.
• Establish collaborations that expand access to excellent emergency medicine education for developing emergency medicine residencies, with a particular focus on programs in locations with limited or no previous emergency medicine development.

The AIME fellowship strives to ensure that our efforts align with the broader efforts of emergency medicine development throughout the world, by remaining humble and flexible, seeking long-term collaborations, and maintaining focus on what we do best – providing access to innovative and high-quality emergency medicine educational content.

The fellowship has 4 core components and will be individually tailored to suit the experience, skill set, and professional goals of each individual fellow.

Online Core Curriculum

Medical education curriculum: The medical education curriculum is led by UCLA medical education faculty and based on the UCLA Emergency Medicine Medical Education Fellowship curriculum. It is designed to provide expertise in educational theory and application, curriculum development, and a framework for developing a career as medical education faculty in academic medicine.

International health curriculum: The longitudinal global health curriculum is designed to help fellows understand the history, current trends, and potential pitfalls in global health work. The fellow will also have the opportunity and is encouraged to attend and speak at international emergency medicine conferences.

International Collaborations

International Partner Sites: The AIME fellow will collaborate with and travel to AIME partner sites, helping to develop and deliver educational content, support local educators, and tailor medical education development efforts to the specific needs of our local partners, while iteratively improving curriculum and content. In addition, to foster the development of an international emergency medicine community, we will comprehensively facilitate collaborations between current and former global partners.

Language Development: US-based fellows will be expected to become proficient in another language, through an individually customized program and in a fashion that aligns with their specific global health goals. International track fellows who are non-native English-speakers are required to have English proficiency, with support provided throughout the fellowship to improve medical and scientific English language skills in as needed, on an individual basis.

Fellowship Project

Fellows will work on an independent educational project throughout the course of their fellowship. The goal of the AIME fellowship project is to provide a supportive environment that can act as an incubator for innovative educational efforts that the fellow may then continue to grow and develop after completion of the fellowship. Fellows will have the opportunity to propose their own projects or to collaborate on ongoing AIME projects. Examples of ongoing, early-stage, and proposed future projects include: EM Conference Toolkit, Choose-You-Own-Adventure’ interactive video cases, Critical Concept Comics, and Learn to Teach Workshop.

The UCLA Plastic Surgery Residency Program is a fully ACGME-accredited, traditional two-year plastic surgery residency, which accepts four residents per year through the San Francisco Match (www.sfmatch.org). All applicants must meet the American Board of Plastic Surgery’s eligibility requirements for plastic surgery residency training (www.abplsurg.org). The UCLA Plastic Surgery Residency Program only accepts applicants who have completed a formal training program (and are board admissible or certified) in general surgery, neurological surgery, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, urology, or oral and maxillofacial surgery (the latter requiring two years of clinical general surgery training in addition to an MD/DDS or DMD).

The residency program is broken down into three-month rotations at the UCLA Medical Center, Olive View Medical Center, Harbor-UCLA, and the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center. Additionally, residents spend one month at the Los Angeles County-USC Burn Center, obtaining experience in surgical and non-surgical burn care, and one month at the Ranchos Los Amigos National Rehabilitation center to obtain experience in the treatment and management of pressure sores.

The UCLA Medical Center serves as the primary training facility. Residents spend three rotations (for a total of nine months) at UCLA, where they are immersed in a wide range of clinical problems. Residents diagnose and treat children with craniofacial anomalies, congenital malformations, facial and head trauma, and diffuse angiomatous problems. They perform hand and microvascular surgery, post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and reconstruction following ablative surgery for head and neck cancers. During their second year, residents on the UCLA service manage their own cosmetic clinic under the supervision of attendings from the outside community.
Teaching conferences emphasize operative procedures, pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, and basic concepts in the management of complicated reconstructive problems.

The UCLA Plastic Surgery Program emphasizes independence, initiative, and competence in all aspects of clinical and academic plastic and reconstructive surgery. Substantial independent operative experience is acquired. Residents are expected to actively engage in teaching plastic surgery to general surgery residents and medical students.

Specific information can be obtained from the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division Office at (310) 825-5582.
