Ronald A. Edelstein, Ed.D., has been named acting dean of the Charles R. Drew University College of Medicine.Dr. Edelstein, currently senior associate dean for academic affairs, replaces Marcelle Willock, M.D.

However, the program is being monitored for quality by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, an accrediting authority for medical programs in the U.S. recognized by the American Medical Association, said Dr. Ronald A. Edelstein, acting dean at the Drew University.

'The LCME, UCLA and Drew monitor very closely the student education to make sure they're getting all the experiences they should be getting,' he said.

Edelstein added that, due to budget cuts in the county, students also do rotations at other hospitals when King/Drew does not have the best resources available for them.

All of the challenges in these communities and the lack of doctors increase the importance of this type of program, said Edelstein.

'We know there need to be more Drews,' he said.
