Mission Driven, Community Focused<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Charles R. Drew University is located in the Watts-Willowbrook neighborhood of South Los Angeles and was founded in the wake of the 1966 Watts uprising. 皇家华人 was founded to address inadequate medical care in the region and to provide equitable medical education opportunities for under-represented students.

皇家华人 offers the only historically Black Doctor of Medicine program west of the Mississippi, and is strongly invested in the local and regional community. The university leads multiple partnerships and programs to provide equitable healthcare resources in a variety of south Los Angeles neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
