Position description
The UCLA CPEP fellowship experience is designed to provide comprehensive training to well-qualified academically-oriented individuals that will prepare them for careers as directors of clinical microbiology or public health laboratories. The content and extent of training is tailored to each individual entering the program according to their unique background and interests. Rarely, however, will the length of the program be other than 2 years, or the time spent in the major training areas be outside the ranges suggested by the ABMM-CPEP. The training occurs primarily in the UCLA Clinical Microbiology laboratory. Training in the clinical aspects of infectious disease occurs at the West Los Angeles Veterans' Administration Medical Center and at the Westwood Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center. UCLA offers one or two positions each year starting in July.
