Pediatric Research Track

This track is designed to provide a mechanism for sustaining research interest and productivity during residency, while providing comprehensive training in general and subspecialty pediatrics. The track is open to individuals with MD/PhD degrees or others who can demonstrate equivalent evidence of research experience and commitment (per requirements of the American Board of Pediatrics). The key feature of the UCLA Pediatric Research Track is the 5 months of designated elective time for research that can be utilized by the resident to work on a project of their choosing. The UCLA Pediatric Department offers residents an impressive range of potential research mentors across the full spectrum of pediatric subspecialties.
