While \offinterlineskip\lineskip1pt might seem to give the desired result, lines will be irregularly spaced, because the distance between base lines will depend on the presence of ascenders (letters like "d") or descenders (letters like "y"). Moreover not all descenders and ascenders are equal.
Tight typesetting can be obtained by calling, say, \fontsize{10}{10} for ten point size. One can get cheaply such a setting by modifying the internal function \set@fontsize:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{etoolbox,lipsum}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd\set@fontsize{#3}{#2}{}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\large\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
Only etoolbox is required, of course. The patch will substitute the call of the third argument to \set@fontsize with the second; the third parameter is indeed the baselineskip and the second is the font size.
Note that this will affect all text at all sizes.
If only some paragraphs are to be "tightly typeset", then the environment tight defined as follows will do the job. The \addvspace commands have been used on the assumption that the code is used for examples. Variations on the theme are possible.
\makeatletter
\let\tightset@fontsize\set@fontsize
\patchcmd\tightset@fontsize{#3}{#2}{}{}
\newenvironment{tight}
{\par\addvspace\topsep
\let\set@fontsize\tightset@fontsize
\fontsize{\f@size}{\f@baselineskip}\selectfont}
{\par\addvspace\topsep}
\makeatother
If tight typesetting is needed for captions, it's simpler. With the caption package define the font used by saying something like
\DeclareCaptionFont{tight}{\fontsize{9}{9}\selectfont}
\captionsetup{font=tight,labelfont=bf}
you can use a tabular:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,ragged2e}
\def\HS{\rule[-1cm]{0pt}{1.1cm}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{@{} >{\Centering}b{300pt}}\hline
\HS Dr. AAAAA\\\hline
\HS Dr. BBBBB\\\hline
\HS Dr. CCCCC\\\hline
\HS Dr. DDDD \\\hline
Dr. EEEEE
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

I would provide the following instructions:
Most importantly, add a
\parinstruction at the end of the material to be set in\LARGE, to get better line spacing.Remove the instruction
\smallskipat the start of the LARGE materialAdd three
\noindentinstructions.Add a
\medskipinstruction to even out the distances between the title material and the pairs of rules.Fix the spelling of the color for the title material; I believe it should be "Navy", not "navy".
(I don't know which font you use; Computer/Latin Modern -- the font used in the screenshot -- doesn't appear to be set up to recognize the uppercase forms of the characters
āandṇ.)
