UC-LEND

About Us

We are a collaborative and interdisciplinary program comprised of health professionals and graduate-level trainees in order to improve the care & outcomes for individuals over the lifespan.

In continuing our mission, we train future health professionals in both didactic and experiential instruction. In addition, we serve our communities, locally and via telehealth, through our UC-LEND clinic.

UC-LEND was established in 2016 as a collaboration between the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of California, Riverside (UCR) with following four priorities in mind: 1) foster inter-campus collaboration between two UC campuses and support the development of pediatric clinical services at UCR Health; 2) address the developmental needs of children and adults in the Inland Empire; 3) focus on transitions to adulthood and the needs of autistic young adults; and 4) improve the ability of primary care pediatric providers and adult health providers to better care for autistic individuals.
