The 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities, which was published today by ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, also listed UCLA the 11th best in the world — public or private.
Rankings are based on experts’ opinions about program excellence and on statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students.
Eight specialties placed in the top 50 nationally: nephrology, orthopaedics, neurology/neurosurgery, gastroenterology, cancer, urology, cardiology and neonatology.
Forbes ranks UCLA Health No. 43 in the nation among all industries; and Becker’s Healthcare lists it among the 150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare for 2018.
