General Information
|
The Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science has evolved and grown, shaped by the needs of the community it
serves. Located in the Watts-Willowbrook section of South Los Angeles, the institution benefits from its location and
the corresponding diversity and complexity of its patient population by creating an academic environment unlike any
other. Through innovative basic science, the University conducts education, patient care and research programs -
training physicians and allied health professionals to provide care to under served populations.
The 11-acre campus includes a day care facility, elementary school, high-school, biomedical library, central
administration, educational & learning resources, (basic, clinical and population-based research facilities), and
housing for postgraduate students. Based on the concept of the “educational pipeline,” a child could conceivably start
out in day care, complete all the necessary levels of schooling and graduate as a practicing physician all on one campus.

| History
|
Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science was originally founded in 1966 in response to inadequate medical
facilities within the Watts region of Los Angeles, California. Later, the institution became a University and changed
its name in order to reflect its new academic role. The University is named in honor of Dr. Charles R. Drew. It is
associated with the Martin Luther King Jr./Charles R. Drew Medical Center, and sometimes referred to as King-Drew
University.
Drew is perhaps best known as a medical school designed to train physicians interested in working in urban environments.
They also offer degrees in closely related clinical programs such as radiology, pharmacy, and physicians assistants.
Drew is now expanding to offer an undergraduate degree in biomedical sciences. The program places a strong emphasis on
research. In fact, it is not uncommon for undergraduates to be performing research in their first year.
