Kevin Mauerman, M.D.

Bird Watching: I have been an avid birder for several years. I often travel on my free days to birding areas in search of species I have not seen before. I recently saw a pair of California condors near the grand canyon, and they were spectacular. Rock Climbing:I have been an active climber since I was a kid. I climbed competitively throughout high school. Now I just climb for fun.

Area of Interest:
Admin/QI, Infectious Disease, Social Emergency Medicine/Advocacy

Why did you choose UCLA for Residency?

I chose UCLA for the strong academic and clinical training. This is supported by the diverse patient population, the different training sites, and involved faculty. I also wanted a 4 year program that would give me the time and support needed to explore my additional interests within EM.
