The 2020-2021 Academic Year

This academic year will be marked by virtual learning experiences and new public health protocols, but more excitingly, it will be a year defined by the reimagination of how – and what – we learn, teach and prioritize.

First-Year Students

Our first-year students are now attending vital in-person sessions in accordance with carefully laid out protocols, including daily symptom tracking, decreased learner density, and the use of face coverings and face shields. For all sessions that do not have a critical hands-on component, students are learning remotely.

Second-Year Students

There will not be a choice to opt-out of in-person activities for the spring 2021 semester (January-June). The curriculum will be “hybrid” with activities such as lectures and PBL remaining remote, and other activities including Preceptorship and Clinical Skills sessions being in-person.

Face-shield distribution for all students

  • All students should obtain face shields before participating in any patient care or on-campus activities.
  • Please note: you will receive two face shields: UShield for clinical use and iShieldMaxfor classes/admin work/meetings/etc.
  • Please bring your ID badge to Materials Management to pick up your shields, Monday through Friday during normal business hours (8 am – 4 pm) at the following locations:
    • Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center: B-301 
    • UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica: B-415 

Please continue thoroughly reading your student update emails, archived at the top of this page, for additional updates and details.
