Medical Related Jobs without Degree

[TheBoneDoctah]

I graduated from ucla and am now looking for a job. I want to get a job in healthcare, but I can't seem to find anything. Does anyone have a job in healthcare that was entry level?

Presumably, you mean a job not requiring additional education/certification that would provide patient contact? Examples: medical office receptionist +/or assistant, nursing home dietary aide.

Entry level clinical research assistant jobs (ie, conducting patient interviews) are often designed for premeds taking gap years and generally don't require a lot of experience.

Yes

If you luck out, and depending on how you're able to spin your prior exposure to healthcare, you may be able to find a medical assistant job that doesn't require certification/experience and will train you on the job. They're not easy to find, but they are out there.

Becoming a CNA requires very little education -- you can get certified in as little as a month -- and there are often similar "caregiver" jobs that will take people with no training. Some hospitals and nursing homes have programs that will provide you with free CNA training and certification if you commit to working there for a certain amount of time afterward.
