Together A Faculty and Staff Guide to Rutgers - University Relations

Major Clinical Programs
Although Rutgers has been engaged in clinical activities
for many decades in such areas as autism, anxiety disorders,
and HIV-prevention, the newly integrated clinical
components of Rutgers—with their long history of providing
high-quality, comprehensive patient care—
greatly expand Rutgers’ clinical reach and ability to
conduct clinical trials. From the latest dental techniques
to primary care providers to specialized treatment
facilities, these entities are at the forefront of health
care in our state and in the country. This section of the
guide introduces you to some of the major clinical
components that are important parts of Rutgers.
