UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School and the Saint Barnabas Health Care System today signed an agreement to create a major academic alliance. The agreement allows for the development of clerkships and other clinical instruction opportunities for medical students at Saint Barnabas Medical Center and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. The agreement will also provide opportunities for research collaboration between the institutions.
“I wish to thank the Saint Barnabas Health Care System for opening its facilities to our students,” said Dr. Robert L. Johnson, Interim Dean of UMDNJ — New Jersey Medical School. “Not only will New Jersey Medical School students benefit from the affiliation agreement with the Saint Barnabas System, but so will the countless patients who will turn to them for medical care in the years to come.”
“The presence of students will greatly enrich and stimulate our health care environment,” stated Ronald J. Del Mauro, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System. “The alliance will create a wealth of possibilities for innovative collaboration and joint initiatives. As a result, our individual and our combined strengths will be significantly enhanced.”
