Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences

RBHS Overview

New Jersey’s academic health center, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) takes an integrated approach to educating students, providing clinical care, and conducting research, all with the goal of improving human health. Aligned with Rutgers University–New Brunswick and collaborating university wide, RBHS includes eight schools, a behavioral health network, and five centers and institutes that focus on cancer treatment and research, neuroscience, advanced biotechnology and medicine, environmental and occupational health, and health care policy and aging research. 

Our faculty are teachers, clinicians, and scientists with unparalleled experience who advance medical innovation and provide patient care informed by the latest research findings. We offer an outstanding education in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, nursing, biomedical research, and the full spectrum of allied health careers. 

Our clinical and academic facilities are located throughout the state—at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, including Piscataway; and at locations in Newark, Scotch Plains, Somerset, Blackwood, and other locations. Clinical partners include Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Newark’s University Hospital, and other affiliates. 

Through this community of healers, scientists, and scholars, Rutgers is equipped as never before to transform lives. For more information on RBHS visit: http://rbhs.rutgers.edu/about.shtml  

The five-year RBHS strategic plan translates university-wide priorities into the unique context for RBHS, defines its aspirations and goals, specifies clinical, research, educational, and clinical service initiatives for the division to pursue, lays out a funding strategy to support these initiatives, and identifies metrics to measure the progress and success of each initiative. Strategic plans, approved and presented, are developed with input provided by more than 5,000 faculty, staff, and students, including faculty university-wide.

The Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) Strategic Plan was presented by Chancellor Strom on October 13, 2014. The RBHS Strategic Plan was a five-year plan, concluding in 2019. Outcomes from that plan can be found here: https://ucmweb.rutgers.edu/universitystrategy/index.htm
