Electives
Fellows receive 2-3 months of research time annually during their fellowship in which further electives may be pursued. A benefit of being a smaller program is the ability to individualize fellow education based off each fellow’s specific career goals and to ensure focused exposure throughout their fellowship.
Fellows have an amazing opportunity during their 2nd year for a 4-week elective with the LA County Department of Public Health in which they have focused experience through the subdivisions in HIV/STDs, TB, Vector Borne, Automated Surveillance, Bioterrorism/Special Investigation, Vaccine Preventable, Respiratory, Viral Hepatitis, HAI/MDR, and Foodborne infection outbreaks,
Additional outpatient DHS experiences include rotating through specialty clinics including Chagas disease (Olive View Medical Center) and leprosy (USC/LAC).
At Harbor-UCLA, fellows can utilize elective time with Pediatric ID, Infection Control, Microbiology, and additional Antibiotic Stewardship rotations.
