The integration with Rutgers
further strengthens collaborations
between higher education and the
healthcare industry, which has a
strong presence in the state,
particularly in central New Jersey.
The faculty collaborates across
disciplines within the school, with
colleagues at
Rutgers New Jersey
Medical School
, and with experts
in the private sector to bring the
latest scientific discoveries into
the clinical arena and continually
improve the health and well-being
of the community. The medical
school's partnerships hold the
promise of increased grant funding
that may lead to novel research
discoveries, greater access to clini-
cal trials, and a broader network of
clinicians and scientists in multiple
disciplines from which students
and residents may learn.
The medical school is optimizing
healthcare reform and strengthen-
ing relationships with its commu-
nity partners to improve access to
care, and extend preventive and
primary care services to the
most vulnerable populations.
The federally qualified
Eric B.
Chandler Health Center
serves
the New Brunswick area through
three locations, including one in
the local high school, allowing for
enriched educational programs for
youth and providing necessary
health services for all community
members. Community health
providers are exemplary in the
care they provide and serve as
consummate mentors, educators
and models for the patient-
centered care we so highly regard.
