ity on vascular surgery, spent sever
al days visiting with his brother, Dr.

practice since 1953. is professor o f
surgery at the Charles Drew Post-
Graduate Medical School in South
Los Angeles, and also serves on the
surgical faculty at Los Angeles Med
ical School.
The Charles Drew Post-Graduate
Medical School, established in the
heart o f the Los Angeles Watts dis
trict after the smoke and fury of the
damaging riots o f a few years ago,
has. according to D r. Brown, en

these began their classes in 1981.
W ith this new shift in its curricu
