Additional Requirements for Rotating at Affiliate Sites

Many of our affiliated hospitals have additional requirements on top of the compliance requirements for UCLA and UCLA Health. 

This information is for medical students participating in rotations at the facilities below. Should you have any questions, contact DGSOM Compliance at compliance@mednet.ucla.edu.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

The Student Elective Coordinator will contact medical students with scheduled rotations at Cedars with instructions to complete the onboarding requirements.

Students interested in clinical shadowing at Cedars-Sinai need to identify and obtain preliminary approval from the Cedars-Sinai faculty they wish to shadow. Once they have secured an opportunity, they will need to contact Academic Human Resources at (310) 423-7888 for a list of requirements, which must be submitted at least four weeks prior to their desired start date. Student shadowing opportunities will not exceed five consecutive days. Please contact the Medical Student Affairs Office at Cedars-Sinai for more information.
