Dear Students,

On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Mervyn Dymally School of Nursing, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Charles R. Drew University School of Medicine and Science.  We are incredibly honored that you have chosen us to journey with you on your path towards success; moreover, we hope that you will partner with us to fulfill our lifelong mission and vision to give back to our underserved communities. 

The need for healthcare providers with a passion for the underserved is stronger today than ever before.  Charles R. Drew University strives to grow alongside our communities by continuing to develop programs relevant to the evolving needs of our society. Our goal as an educational institution is not only to provide you with appropriate tools for your future practice, but also to prepare you to be a leader and an advocate in bridging health disparities locally and worldwide.

“Excellent health and wellness for all in a world without health disparities.” This is the vision that we live by at Charles R. Drew University. We look forward to sharing this with you during your time here with us. Our hope is that the courses you will take in pursuit of your degree will aid you in making this vision into a reality.

Sincerely, 

Maria Recanita C. Jhocson, MSN, NP-C, RN, LNC
