Students for Community Outreach, Promotion, and Education (SCOPE)

Opened in the Summer of 2003, SCOPE came about when medical students, public health graduate and undergraduate students saw that there was a need to provide more comprehensive care to its patients and their families. SCOPE established itself as a child and family resource center at the UCLA 200 Medical Plaza in the waiting room of the Children's Health Center.    

Advised by Alice Kuo M.D. Ph.D. M.Ed., a pediatric physician and Todd Franke Ph.D., professor of Social Welfare, SCOPE bridges the health access gap between medicine and the public's overall health.  It is also an educational tool for students and pediatric residents to learn about their community, its health, barriers, burdens and the resources it provides.

Mission

SCOPE aims to empower children and families with valuable health and social resources in the community.
