Message from the Dean

Dean Amy P. Murtha

Dear Faculty, Staff, Residents, Fellows, Students, Alumni and Prospective Students,

It is my honor to serve as Dean of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, a place where learning, research, patient care, local and global service, and diversity combine to create an extraordinary medical home. Along with our medical partners, Rutgers Health, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and RWJBarnabas Health, we are preparing tomorrow’s physicians to be compassionate health care providers, steeped and trained in research-based medicine.

The pride that embodies our medical school emanates from a community of people who care. We care for our medical students, residents, and fellows, and for each other. We care about advancing and raising the bar on medical education in New Jersey, in partnership with New Jersey Medical School and the communities of New Brunswick, Piscataway, and Newark.

Our community is clearly dedicated to advancing its missions and improving outcomes for all through innovative discovery, training the next generation and providing outstanding care while holding our patients and beloved community at the center of our work. We partner with our clinicians and scientists, community physicians, and students to provide care to New Jersey patients, including to underserved populations at Eric B. Chandler Health Center. We support collaborations that strengthen the school’s education, clinical, research, and community health missions.

Our medical students are the embodiment of our pride. Their energy and passion for learning is truly inspiring. They are fortunate to learn from remarkable educators across the medical school who serve as models and mentors for these future physicians.

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School is at an important and exciting inflection point in its history. The Rutgers University Board of Governors approved a plan to seek combined accreditation for New Jersey Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School as Rutgers School of Medicine (RSOM). The new RSOM creates a stronger, more innovative institution that offers increased educational and research opportunities, enhanced patient care, and creates a locus of biomedical and health sciences education, research, and clinical care. The enhanced national reputation of RSOM draws the best students, trainees, and faculty recruits to Rutgers.

Construction of our new medical school building in New Brunswick is moving forward at an exciting pace. The new building will provide state-of-the-art learning spaces and equipment as well as increased opportunities for collaborative research. This exciting new location, adjacent to our clinical facilities and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, will expand the comprehensive education we provide to all learners.

I am humbled to lead Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and trust that, together, we will move our work forward, further strengthening the school’s missions through innovation, education, and health care delivery.

Sincerely,

Amy P. Murtha, MD
Dean, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
