Pagers

All third and fourth year medical students are required to carry a UCLA issued pager; outside pagers are not accepted. 

  • The rental fee for a UCLA pager and air time is $150/year and must be paid before one will be issued to you.  This cost includes the pager, airtime, use of the 800 phone number, etc. Please note, this is not a deposit and therefore you do not own the pager and are required to return it before graudating or going on a leave of absence;
  • If you are receiving Financial Aid, the expense has been added to the budget;
  • Lost pagers are the responsibility of the individual student as is true for residents and faculty; the cost of a new or damaged pager is $100.   Please contact Linda Cuesta at 310-206-0245 or lcuesta@mednet.ucla.edu to request a replacement pager;
  • Students are responsible for replacing thier own pager's AA battery when needed.

3rd YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS

The initial "rental"  fee must be paid electronically BEFORE the start of Clinical Foundation (offered in the 3rd Year).  Pager distribution will occur at a designated time during Clinical Foundations. Students will not receive their pager until the SAO has confirmed payment.

 

4th YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS

  • 4th year medical students must renew their rental contrant, electronically, BEFORE July 1st.  Failure to renew will prevent the release of your MSPE (Dean's Letter).
  • You must return your pager, to the paging office, and bring the receipt to the SAO no later than two (2) weeks prior to graduation day.
