A trailblazer in public health and medical education, Dr. Prothrow-Stith has led transformative initiatives at CDU, including launching its new medical school, restarting residency programs in South LA, and tripling the size of the COM faculty. A Spelman and Harvard graduate, she’s a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a pioneer in defining youth violence as a public health issue.
