Clinical Affiliations
Rutgers and legacy UMDNJ units have
successfully developed many joint programs
with affiliate hospitals and other
health care facilities to provide a wide
range of clinical experiences for its students
and faculty. Affiliation agreements
are made with health care
entities that meet the most stringent
criteria. These mutually beneficial
arrangements allow schools to ensure
students receive real-world practice in
leading clinical environments, while
both the schools and affiliates enjoy
collaborations on clinical care, research,
and community service.
Rutgers has relationships with
hundreds of clinical affiliates in New
Jersey and surrounding states. Lists
of clinical affiliations can be found on
many individual college, school, and
institute websites.
