The Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education (CARE), under the Division for Research and Education in Academic Medicine (DREAM), is the only medical center among top US universities devoted to advancing the health of Asians worldwide through increasing knowledge, empowering education, and positively impacting clinical care.
