History: In 1973, the Master Plan for the Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School was created and published in three volumes. Page one, of Volume One, The Summary Report, describes a brief history of the school and its, then, associated county hospital and medical schools at USC and UCLA. While USC no longer has the described affiliation, UCLA does. The final paragraph describes the roles of chairs and chiefs.

M. Alfred Haynes, MD, MPH, Community Medicine
