Have you ever wanted to volunteer in a hospital setting in order to gain experience but have not been able to interact with the patients? The ARC (Assessing Resident C-ICARE) Program at UCLA consists of a community of student volunteers, interns, staff, and those dedicated to improving overall patient satisfaction in the UCLA Medical Center and Plaza. The goal of this patient interview is to provide highly reliable patient feedback about patients’ hospital experience to the management of the inpatient/outpatient care units and the program directors of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. .

The program was created in response to falling standards in “bedside manner” as determined by the Accredited Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) within the Department of Patient Affairs and by Hospital and SOM Administration. The ARC Medical Program assists in the School of Medicine’s 360 degree evaluation of their residents in five services: Pediatrics, General Surgery, Medicine, Neurosurgery and OB/GYN. The main goal of this program is to complete evaluations, using a preapproved audit tool, on residents at the David Geffen School of Medicine while identifying problems in “bedside manner” with their patients and alerting it to the residents so that they can become the best doctors possible.

To become an ARC volunteer, please fill out the application available at http://www.arcucla.hostcell.net. Applications are due August 31, 2010. If you have any questions email the ARC Admissions team at arcadmissions.ucla@gmail.com.

Economics 145 Topics in Math/Economics

Professor Copic will be offering Economics 145 this Fall. This is an advanced topics course and enrollment is by Department consent.

COURSE PREREQUISITES: This is an advanced topics course intended for students who may have an interest in pursuing a research career. Any student wishing to enroll in the course must have sufficient mathematical background or must otherwise qualify for the course through exceptional prior academic and/or work record. (Prerequisites: Econ 101, Econ 103, Math 33A or Math 115A, or Department consent). In such a case, you may obtain permission to sign up for the course by contacting Ed McDevitt, Department of Economics Program Coordinator, at mcdevitt@econ.ucla.edu

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Decision Theory, Game Theory, Bounded Rationality with introduction to research. The main thread of the course is to discuss human behavior in an evolutionary context in order to analyze aspects of human behavior that are hard to fit in with the rationality paradigm. We first discuss what it means to be rational, principally in terms of axioms of consistent decision making; we identify rationality in different environments, such as choice, inter-temporal choice, and choice under uncertainty. We then briefly move to strategic situations, and other multi-person situations, and identify what is meant by rationality in such settings. We then point out some well-known deviations from consistent behavior, some of these may be introduced through in-class experiments (Allais paradox, Ellsberg paradox, dictator games and backward induction, etc.). Next, we provide a short review of some of the models that have been proposed to account for such behavior: the reference-point models (e.g., Herbert Simon’s satiscing ideas), models of inconsistent inter-temporal choice (β-δ), models for decision-making under uncertainty (case-based theory of Gilboa and Schmeidler). We then move to a concrete example where we try to identify several underlying characteristics of the environment which determine human behavior, where we attempt to develop a simple model fitting the situation.

Economics 187: The Economic History of Globalization

 This course has as its focus the evolution of the global economy from very early times. Of particular interest will be historical developments dating from the nineteenth century up to the present day. This longer period from c. 1800 to c. 2000 is instructive in that it witnesses the integration of the world’s nations into the first truly global economy, its disintegration in the wake of the First World War and isolationist retrenchment up to the Second World War, and the contemporary reintegration of the global economy.

The first weeks will be spent on an overview of the five major periods of globalization: its pre-history (everything before 1500), its early history (1500-1800), it first wave (1800-1913), its decline (1919-1939) and it subsequent resurgence (1950-present). The remainder of the course will be spent examining common themes across all periods, such as the role of international monetary arrangements.

This particular course, titled The Economics History of Globalization, falls into the International Field of Economics (Econ 120′s Series). 

The keynote on social media recruiting provides an excellent opportunity to advance your professional content.  The day’s activities comprise a dynamic forum for benchmarking and exchanging ideas, challenges, and best practices with others who hire students for internships or summer/part-time employment and/or college graduates for full time positions.

Details can be found in the NACE invitation (below.)  It is simple (and free!) to register online, but the March 16 deadline is fast approaching.  Do not hesitate to contact us at with any questions or concerns.

We look forward to seeing you on March 22!

Nursing JumpStart

Wednesday, February 24, 4-7 pm
UCLA Career Center, Third Floor, Conference Room

Are you interested in nursing but not sure how to enter that field? Are you concerned about your options to go to nursing school if you don’t have an undergrad in nursing? Are you an undergrad nursing student that wants to learn about a Master’s program in the future? If you answered “yes” to these questions, then this workshop is for you.

This special three hour conference will provide you with the information you need to begin your nursing journey by learning about the admissions process for Accelerated Bachelor’s and Master’s programs (for non-nursing students) and generic Master’s programs (nursing students) from the following schools: • UCLA • Western University • Loma Linda • Mount St. Mary’s

You’ll also get a glimpse of what the nursing profession is like by hearing from a panel of practicing nurses specializing in different areas. They will share their perspectives on work/life balance, the job search, transition from student to professional and much more. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions of our guests in a “meet and greet” session at the end.

Nursing is a field that is both rewarding and challenging. It involves effective communication, teamwork, a compassionate heart and being able to “think on your feet.” Sign up today to discover this fascinating profession to help you get started on your journey to becoming a nursing professional!
