r. Abisogun discovered cardiol-
ogy at Robert Wood Johnson
Medical School, in his second-year pathophysiology
course. The specialty fascinated him. "Imaging capabili-
ties and the laws of physics--like Bernoulli's equation--
made it simple to see and understand heart disease," he
says. Cardiology suited Dr. Abisogun's goal of becoming
a "thoughtful physician, getting to perform interesting
procedures and do things that are cool."
His internal medicine residency at Warren Alpert
Medical School of Brown University was difficult and
challenging, and he loved it, feeling at home with the
people, the place, and the experience. "It was good to
have people I could lean on, especially my future wife,
Abby [Tubman, MD '11]," he says.
Dr. Abisogun started his cardiology fellowship this
past summer. During his second rotation, he was con-
ducting catheter-based electrophysiology studies to regu-
late heart arrhythmias and performing ablations of
abnormal heart cells.

r. Agner is intrigued by nonin-
vasive methods of diagnosis.
Before medical school, she conducted image-based labo-
ratory research, and imaging was also the focus of her
doctoral research at the Rutgers Department of
obert Wood Johnson Medical School
has always been proud of its students' excellent
results in the National Residency Match.
Consistently well above the national mean,
the results reflect the medical school's first-
rate academic program. But the real driver of
the results is the commitment of the students
themselves, whose growth at the medical
school is nothing short of extraordinary. In
classrooms, laboratories, clinical settings,
and throughout the community, they prepare
for excellence in every aspect of the job
description of a resident: as clinicians, as
teachers, and in pursuit of medical innovation
through research.
The following profiles present a represen-
tative cross section of alumni in a wide vari-
ety of postgraduate programs. From first-
year residents to fellows in advanced pro-
grams nationwide--from the Pacific Rim to
the East Coast, from north to south, in set-
tings from military to civilian--they serve as
the finest ambassadors the medical school
could wish for. The success of each graduate
strengthens the reputation of the medical
school and opens doors for the students who
will follow.
