Giving to CDU
Look at the residents from South Los Angeles and beyond who benefit from access to the university’s health care services, and research on reducing health disparities. About one-third of Los Angeles County’s minority doctors were trained at Charles Drew University, and graduates from the College of Medicine have been more likely by a wide margin to practice in medically underserved communities than physicians trained in traditional medical schools. Charles Drew University was ranked in the top 10% of more than 3,400 institutions supported by the National Institutes of Health and finished among the top 50 private research universities, as rated by the Center for Measuring University Performance.
