Programming

ACHE's programming events provide a medium for students to network with an array of health care organizations and to learn about the opportunities available to public health students.  For further information on programming events please contact Katie Wood. 

Student Executive Forums - ACHE arranges for students to meet with top executives of health care organizations and spend the day at their health care facility.  Some sites that students have visited in the past include  Harriman Jones Medical Group, Kaiser Permanente of Riverside, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Health Net.  

Brown Bags - Brown bags are generally held during lunchtime, which gives many students an opportunity to attend.  ACHE recruits professionals from the health care industry to hold forums such as resume workshops and information sessions on potential careers in the industry.    

HPMAA Mixer - This mixer is an annual event where ACHE collaborates with the Health Policy and Management Alumni Association (HPMAA).  It gives the Health Services students an opportunity to network with Health Services alumni and other students.  Even more important than the networking is the free food and drinks that are provided!  This year the event is on October 8, 2003 at the Westwood Brewing Co.

Community Service

As future professionals in health care, the UCLA chapter of ACHE is committed to giving back to our community.  We are always looking for new volunteers so please contact Sue Dao if you are interested.  

ID Fingerprinting at Bresee - Last year ACHE participated in ID fingerprinting at the Bresee Foundation. At this event, ACHE members, the Los Angeles Police, and community volunteers fingerprinted and took pictures of children 18 years old and younger.  Health advocates of the foundation sponsored this event.

The Revlon Run/Walk for Women - Last year a team of students from the UCLA chapter of ACHE participated in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women.  It is an annual fundraising event in Los Angeles to raise breast cancer awareness and celebrate the fight against women's cancers.  The 11th Annual Revlon Run/Walk For Women is planned for Saturday, May 8, 2004 and we look forward to you joining our team!

Fundraising

ACHE supports most of its activities through the student chapter's fundraising efforts.  These efforts are not only a great way to raise funds  but also serve as great social outlets.  If you are interested in helping us raise funds for ACHE please contact Stephanie Cha. 

Bagel sales - ACHE holds multiple bagel sales throughout the year in the Health Sciences courtyard.  This event not only gives us a chance to raise funds for the organization but also allows us to get our name out into the Health Sciences community at UCLA.  

TV Tapings - Get paid to watch a television taping!  ACHE coordinates with local television stations to have its members attend television tapings.  Last year we enjoyed watching the taping of Primetime Glick with Martin Short. 

Social

In an attempt to further unify both members and nonmembers of ACHE, the chapter coordinates an array of social events throughout the year.  

Wine Social - Last year a local wine distributor educated students about proper wine etiquette.  After his presentation the students enjoyed an evening of wine tasting.

ACHE BBQ - The ACHE BBQ was held in the Spring of 2003.  This event gave first and second year students a break from studying and allowed them to spend time with one another before parting ways for the summer
