All are welcome to attend!
BACKGROUND: In 2013, most of the former units of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey joined with Rutgers University to transform health care education, training and medical research in the state. The New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, passed a year earlier, led to the creation of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS), one of the few academic health centers in the country with schools in medicine, dentistry, nursing, allied health, pharmacy, public health and biomedical science. Panelists will review the immediate benefits of integration and discuss the long-term outlook for enhanced research, education and patient care.
