Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) is the umbrella organization for the schools and assets acquired by Rutgers University after the July 1, 2013 breakup of the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. While its various facilities are spread across several locations statewide, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences is considered the university's fourth campus.[1][2][3][4]
This division of the university comprises the following schools, centers, institutes, and programs:
- Cancer Institute of New Jersey
- Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine
- Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute
- Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy
- Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
- Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research
- Medical Schools
- School of Nursing
- School of Dental Medicine
- School of Health Related Professions
- School of Public Health
- University Behavioral HealthCare
History
RBHS was created in response to the 2012 New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act that asked that UMDNJ be merged into Rutgers University.[5][6] Not all UMDNJ units became part of RBHS. Thus the School of Osteopathic Medicine at Stratford became part of Rowan University, and the University Hospital in Newark became a freestanding state-owned institution.
