Want to get involved in student health education and publish health-related articles? Total Wellness is a division of the UCLA Student Welfare Commission that  is dedicated to elucidating student health and healthcare in an effective, student-friendly form. Through our magazine, we advocate specific lifestyle changes, provide professionally reviewed recommendations for physical, mental, and social well-being, and make visible and accessible various health resources, programs, and events occurring at UCLA.

We are currently opening new staff positions as part of our annual recruitment! Specifically we are looking for writers, designers, as well as leaders who can help promote and run the magazine.

This is a great opportunity for any pre-health student as members will not only stay up to date with the latest on health news and topics, but also contribute to the student body’s awareness of them. As a staff member, you will be plugged into the UCLA health network by interviewing and connecting with UCLA physicians, clinicians, nurses, and health-related professors. Being a part of this magazine will allow you to get a rare glimpse into the professional health world as well as the academic one that is right at our fingertips here at UCLA!
