Previously known as
​ACComPLISHED Community Health Worker Program.​​

This program is part of the
UCLA Neurology Department's
new Community Liaisons Inspiring Neurology-Informed Care (CLINIC) program

Health Education for Community Advocates and Liaisons: Interventions in Neurology and Global Health.

HEALING is an educational program where students are encouraged, supported, and mentored throughout their learning experience.

​We look forward to welcoming you into the community!

The Community Health Program is an excellent option for students contemplating a career in health or academia who want to make an impact in their community. Students will explore clinical correlates, engage in simulated patient encounters, and develop knowledge and skills in workshops. Students will learn from physicians and allied health professionals. Students participate in a hybrid interdisciplinary community health program delivered throughout the academic year with weekly Zoom sessions. Each student is matched with personal mentors. Students write weekly reflections, complete validated questionnaires during in-class didactics, and implement a mentored capstone community intervention. Each student chooses 5 family or community members to teach program content to weekly as a health education liaison and tracks their brain care scores. There are hundreds of office hours over the course of the program to support students. Students are invited to present their projects at a symposium at the end of the program. The program is inspired by community health worker models and trains adolescents to serve as health education liaisons within their families and communities.
