The UCLA Department of
Medicine offers Ph.D. training combined with clinical fellowship training in the Specialty Training and Advanced
Research (STAR) Program. Awardees of this program complete
clinical training toward certification in a subspecialty
of internal medicine as well as research training to
complete a Ph.D. Participating subspecialties include
Cardiology, Clinical Immunology and Allergy, Dermatology,
Digestive Diseases, Emergency Medicine, Endocrinology and
Metabolism, Hematology-Oncology, Infectious Diseases,
Nephrology, Pulmonary-Critical Care and Rheumatology.
Awardees select their mentors from faculty in the School
of Medicine, the College of Letters and Science, the
School of Public Health, the RAND Graduate School, and the
California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In
general, the STAR Program begins with approximately 12 to
24 months of  clinical
fellowship. This is followed by research training in a PhD
granting department. The remainder of specialty clinical
training is integrated into these research years.
The research portion is usually 3 to 4 years.
