Undergraduate recruitment
Thank you so much for your interest in our organization! All of the accomplishments, small and large, that have brought us to where we are today are possible because of people like you. Flying Sams at UCLA is a testament to the power of undergraduates. And new generations of students are crucial to achieving our mission.
We recruit during the fall and spring quarters of the academic year. The recruitment cycle for SPRING 2024 has begun. If you are interested in joining, please complete the interest form below.
SPRING 2024 Recruitment has started! As we mentioned at the info sessions, we accept everyone into the organization (no interviews or competitive process) as long as you complete the following steps by the deadlines:
STEP 1) Fill out the New Member Form and Waiver (full name must be spelled correctly) to get on our mailing list (Due by Friday, April 12th, 2024 at 11:59PM.)
STEP 2) Pay an annual membership fee of $25 using Venmo (@bruinsams is our official Venmo account; please DO NOT click the “turn on for purchases” as it deducts a % from your payment) or PayPal (the PayPal link will lead you to a box that says Donate; you can use that as a platform to pay the membership fee) by Wednesday April 17th, 2024 at 11:59 PM.
STEP 3) Complete HIPAA Training and submit the certificate (full name must be shown on certificate) here for verification to the Secretary’s email (secretary@flyingsamaritansatucla.org). You may NOT submit HIPAA verifications from July 2022 or earlier (Due by Friday, April 19th, 2023 at 11:59PM).
STEP 4) Take a brief Online Crash Course Training and Quiz (Due before your oral exam date).
STEP 5) Take an In-Person Oral Examination after completing your crash course training
The Patient Simulations are offered Week 4 Thursday (April 25th, 2024) from 6:00 - 9:00 PM and Friday (April 26, 2024) from 6:00 - 9:00 PM.
STEP 6) Submit proof (full name must be included with proof) of vaccinations and current TB test to our secretary (Due by Wednesday, April 24th, 2024, 11:59PM).
If you have taken vaccinations at the Ashe Center: Log onto the Patient Portal on the Ashe Center's website. Once you log in as a student with your UCLA ID, enter your date of birth and click "proceed." You should then see a link that says "View my Ashe immunization record." Click that link to access an organized page of your immunization records. Take a screenshot of your "Immunization" page, and submit it to us using this google form. If you are having troubles with the form, you may send your screenshot directly to our secretary (secretary@flyingsamaritansatucla.org).
If you do not want to use the Ashe Center website as proof of your immunizations or the Ashe Center website has not yet been updated with your records, you may use another form of proof, such as the yellow immunization record card or some other type of proof. Once you decide what form of proof you want to use, SCAN a copy of your immunization records and submit it to us using this google form. Again, if you are having troubles with the form, you may send your screenshot directly to our secretary.
Please use this template to check that the records you are planning on sending to us meet our requirements.
Note: Our vaccine requirements include 1) Hepatitis B, 2) Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), 3) Tdap (or Tdap Declination), 4) Varicella, 5) TB test or negative chest X-Ray, 6) Seasonal Flu Shot (optional; if you decline you must wear a mask) and 7) COVID-19 vaccination + booster. The TB test or negative chest X-ray are valid through ONE YEAR of the result date! *Please note that if you want to take the swab test for TB test, it is a two-week process so do plan in advance!
After you complete these steps, as an active member you are required to attend AT LEAST 1 general meeting and 1 social or 1 fundraiser a quarter. Committee meetings are optional but are a great way to earn more points and get involved!
