Gov. supports expanding Drew medical school
- Share via
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote to the UC Regents’ chairman Wednesday in support of a plan to expand the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science from a two-year to a four-year school now that it can no longer send residents to Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center.
The hospital is scheduled to disaffiliate with Drew University under a reorganization because King/Drew failed a federal health inspection.
The governor asked the regents to consider Drew, the only historically black medical school west of the Mississippi, as they make medical school plans.
