Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) is proud to announce that the American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation has awarded a Physicians of Tomorrow Scholarship to one of its medical students, Ms. Javay Ross. Nominated by Dean Richard Baker, of CDU's College of Medicine, Ms. Ross was chosen by a selection committee using criteria including academic excellence, leadership, community involvement, and also letters of recommendation.

According to AMA Foundation President, Dr. Jean Howard, "These medical students represent the very best of the next generation of U.S. physicians." She noted that all 15 recipients of this scholarship have demonstrated that "their academic achievements as well as their leadership and volunteer activities speak to their commitment to make a difference in the medical profession."
"All of us at the University are extraordinarily proud of Javay and this validation of her achievements," said Dr. Susan Kelly, Charles Drew University President. "She typifies what we look for in all our medical students - the highest standards of excellence, as well as the heart and soul, to play her part in transforming the health of underserved communities."
"I am overwhelmed and feel very honored to have received this award," said Ms. Ross, a fourth year medical student in the CDU/UCLA Medical Education Program, who is from Northern California.
As the philanthropic arm of the American Medical Association, the AMA Foundation has made it a priority to assist medical students. The Physicians of Tomorrow Scholarships were created in 2004 to provide financial assistance to medical students facing spiraling medical school debt. On average, medical students in the U.S. graduate with a debt load of nearly $140,000.
Charles Drew University is located in South Los Angeles, an area that represents 1.6 million of the poorest and most medically underserved people in the nation. CDU's College of Medicine includes the Charles Drew/UCLA Medical Education Program, a unique 30-year partnership that emphasizes the mission of eliminating healthcare disparities and academic excellence. Just last month, the partnership program was recognized by the Greenlining Institute as 'best performer' among University of California medical school programs in training minority physicians. It was also praised for its effectiveness in implementing its unique mission of providing culturally competent doctors committed to working where they are most needed - in diverse and medically underserved communities.

The recession has had a profound impact on the lubricant markets of the BRIC countries
The four BRIC countries accounted for over one-quarter of global finished lubricants demand in 2009. According to data from The Impact of the Global Recession on BRIC Countries, the latest research by worldwide consulting and research firm Kline & Company, the positive outlook for economic and manufacturing activity coupled with a growing and financially strong middle class will have these countries accounting for nearly one-third of global lubricant demand by 2013.
The recession has had a profound impact on the lubricant markets of the BRIC countries. The worst market affected was Russia, which saw lubricant demand falling by as much as 28% in 2009. However, global economic instability has accelerated the shift in lubricant consumption to Asia and Eastern Europe.
In China, India, and Brazil, recovery seems to have started some time in the third quarter of 2009. These countries will emerge from recession quicker and stronger than mature countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, accelerating demand for finished lubricants across both the automotive and industrial market segments.
In terms of overall finished lubricant demand in BRIC in 2009, China is the leading country, accounting for 57% of total demand, followed by India and Russia, each with 15%, and Brazil with 12%. While Brazil may be the smallest market among its BRIC compatriots, its consumer automotive segment accounts for 30% of its total demand, the highest among all the BRIC countries.
According to George Morvey, Project Manager, Energy, "the Kline BRIC FlashPoint report is an excellent tool for all participants in the lubricant supply chain whether they are long time established players or potential new entrants needing a comprehensive and timely assessment of the market size, its potential, and opportunities."
A Kline exclusive, The Impact of the Global Recession on BRIC Countries examines the economic recession in the United States and its effects on developing BRIC economies, as well as its further effects on demand for finished lubricants across the automotive and industrial segments. The report provides Kline's perspective on market and demand trends critical for a lubricant supplier to understand in order to maximize its opportunities in these key countries.
