Diversity

Our vision is a multi-cultural staff that reflects the diversity of our community.
The rewards of achievement are greater when everyone is included.

The best talent has a way of finding its way to our doors. As a world-class health care facility, UCLA attracts professionals and patients from around the world. With so many varied backgrounds, perspectives and abilities collaborating in one place, we see our diverse pool of talent as one of our greatest assets.

UCLA welcomes individuals without regard to race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin or disabilities, and we proudly look to their unique achievements to further set us apart.

At UCLA Health System, we achieve excellence in patient care consistently by following the steps outlined in CICARE.

CICARE is an acronym that describes specific behaviors that are guaranteed to result in excellent communication with patients, families and colleagues.

Every UCLA Health System employee, physician and volunteer holds themselves and their colleagues accountable for practicing these six steps with everyone on every encounter.
