How To Apply

Eligibility

We are committed to recruiting and training fellows from disadvantaged backgrounds. We seek applicants with a desire to serve culturally diverse and medically underserved populations. We strive to foster a culture that promotes and values diversity through community, education, training, and research. We also believe in attracting individuals with a personal or family history of substance use disorder. All applicants are evaluated by a comprehensive review process, which means that we consider academic metrics alongside extracurricular activities, lived experience, and ways that individuals enhance the diversity of our field, institution, and program.

Applicants currently must be board certified or board eligible in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, or OB/GYN. Additionally, applicants must be graduates of, or in the final year of, an ACGME-accredited clinical residency program. A full California medical license and completion of the educational requirements to receive your DEA certification are required before starting the fellowship.
