Camden, NJ - Cooper Medical School of Rowan University announced Friday it has received a $1.75 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Service Administration to improve primary care workforce and address the shortage of these physicians in underserved communities in New Jersey.
The goal of this five-year award is to develop and alter the school’s primary care education with an accelerated competency-based curriculum for medical students pursuing careers in internal medicine or pediatrics by the fall 2016.
“CMSRU is a relatively new medical school, but we are already becoming a leader in the development of innovative yet practical approaches to educating the future physician workforce,” Paul Katz, dean of CMSRU, said in a prepared statement. “Our graduates will be well-prepared for addressing the needs of our current and future health care system.”
This was the second Primary Care Training and Enhancement grant awarded to CMSRU.
