Art MEDified at UCLA

Art MEDified's UCLA chapter is the original branch of Art MEDified, Inc., a Southern California nonprofit that teaches health literacy through art; a UCLA student founded the group in 2024. Campus events have included a slime workshop in which glue stood in for plasma and slime for blood, a talk on health insurance, a health fair and a Pre-Med 101 workshop, and members have put out a nutrition magazine. The group also runs C.R.A.F.T. Research Scholars, a free summer program in which high school and college students write their own health literacy research abstracts; the latest session drew over 300 participants from 23 countries.
