    Welcome to CCM!

       Chicanos Latinos for Community Medicine (CCM) at UCLA is an undergraduate group dedicated to the promotion and development of a communication network for pre-health students. It is achieved by promoting student interest in the improvement of health care for underserved communities in California and Baja California. CCM also facilitates educational programs for the recruitment and retention of pre-health students in areas such as academic success, career opportunities, and the politics of medicine. Pre-health students are given exposure to community services and clinical experience.

      The student's exposure to the medical field is developed through three health project components of CCM at UCLA. Students interested in providing necessary service to underserved communities can join the Latino Student Health Project (LSHP). This project has been dedicated to providing free hypertension, glucose, anemia, cholesterol screenings, and health education to underserved communities. Students can join the campaign in HIV/AIDS awareness to youth in the Los Angeles region by participating with the Black/Latino AIDS Project (BLAIDS). Members of the BLAIDS project are given the chance to tackle the issues of HIV awareness via creative and innovative high school presentation. Another facet of CCM's promotion of health is addressed through the Donations of Tissues and Organs project (DoTOrg). This Project allows for students to become involved with de-stigmatizing the issue of organ and tissue donation by educating youth and families. Ultimately, CCM cultivates a drive within students to increase access of medical care to underserved communities.
