UCLA Division of General Internal Medicine and Health Services Research (GIM & HSR)

The Division of General Internal Medicine and Health Services Research at UCLA has well over 200 faculty members associated with the Division, including large numbers of ambulatory and hospitalist clinician-educators. UCLA is proud to have many division members with vibrant research programs that span domains that include access to care, health disparities, quality of care, HIV prevention and treatment, diabetes prevention and treatment, quality of care, health care policy, mental health, adolescent health, health economics, health status and patient-reported outcomes. The Division includes three economists, a social psychologist, multiple faculty members with MDs as well as PhDs, and a number of postdoctoral research and clinical training programs. 

GIM & HSR houses over 100 faculty members and includes 20 clinicians with advanced degrees and training in health services research. This group has a close working relationship with more than 70 clinicians in general internal medicine at UCLA and more than 350 clinicians throughout the Department of Medicine. The Division housed a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program for over 40 years that recently transitioned into the National Clinician Scholars Program. The National Clinician Scholars Program offers unique clinical and community-based research training through intensive mentorship for clinicians as change agents driving policy-relevant research and partnerships to improve health and healthcare.  It focuses on inventing new models of care and achieving higher quality health care at lower cost by training nurse and physician researchers who will work as leaders and collaborators embedded in communities, health care systems, government, foundations, and think tanks in the U.S. and around the world.
