RWJBarnabas' Partnership with Rutgers Likely to Cost Other Medical Schools Their Student Slots

8/4/2017

New Brunswick, NJ — Anjalee Khemlani reports on NJBIZ that RWJBarnabas Health will likely be cutting ties with several universities as part of the new partnership with Rutgers University, NJBIZ has learned.
 
The health system will be prioritizing medical students from Rutgers for its available student slots, according to RWJBarnabas CEO Barry Ostrowsky.
 
“Our priority academic partner is Rutgers medical schools,” Ostrowsky said.  “The extent to which Rutgers needs teaching slots, our job is to make certain Rutgers ... our system is able to meet its needs.  After that, if we have the ability to accommodate other relationships, we can maintain other relationships.”
 
One school has already been given the boot.
​Drexel University, in Philadelphia, has had a longstanding relationship with Monmouth Medical Center, but has been put on notice, Ostrowsky said.
 
“Unfortunately, we had to tell Drexel they had to find another venue because Monmouth will now, in fact, accommodate Rutgers students,” Ostrowsky said. “We have other medical school affiliations which will be impacted. To what degree, we are not certain, but we will get to know in the next 60 days.”
 
The agreement ends next year.
 
The decision was not made lightly, Ostrowsky said.
 
“It’s not whimsical that we would make a change. This is a difficult, complicated, anxiety-provoking time for health care and medical education,” he said.
 
That includes the ongoing changes in policy and practice around the country, and an impending physician shortage.
 
“It’s exactly that environment that drives us to want to take a physician as a partner at a medical school,” Ostrowsky said, referring to Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Chancellor Brian Strom.
