Training Program

National Clinician Scholars Program

The National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP) at UCLA is a two-year, post-doctoral research training program for physicians and doctorally trained nurses. The program aims to offer unparalleled training for clinicians as change agents driving policy-relevant research and partnerships to improve health and health care. The goal of the program is to cultivate health equity, eliminate health disparities, invent new models of care, and achieve higher quality health care at lower cost by training nurse and physician researchers who work as leaders and collaborators embedded in communities, healthcare systems, government, foundations, and think tanks in the United States and around the world.
