Strong research credentials combined with genuine leadership and underserved-community experience; UCLA's 'Outstanding Physician, AND...' framing explicitly wants a second dedicated societal mission beyond clinical excellence.

Watch out: A purely academic or research profile with no stated second societal commitment (community engagement, advocacy, etc.) undersells fit with UCLA's explicitly named mission framing.
