Message from the Chief

Welcome to the Division of Education. Our mission is to provide rigorous, evidence-based, patient-centered education to all levels of learners in learning environments that value professionalism, welcome diversity, promote empathy and address well-being. Scholarship, service, leadership and research remain important guiding pillars. 

Division Overview

Members of the division are institutional leaders in undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education. They remain active in national and regional organizations. The division continues to take strategic steps to promote excellence, explore areas for further growth and expand on innovation. A wellness program engages residents and fellows in conversation and group activities. The thirteen-member division supports full-time and part-time educators. Internal medicine clerkships, sub-internships and boot camp rotations are co-administered by faculty from General Internal Medicine and various subspecialties. Four regional hospitals serve as training sites for student education. 

Seventy-three residents and two chief residents form the core medicine residency program. In conjunction with Rutgers Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the division offers the opportunity for trainees to pursue a Certificate in Clinical and Translational Science with full tuition support. The residency program is based at RWJUH and includes rotations at our affiliate, Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center. The department supports fifty-eight fellows, offering training in nine subspecialties, two advanced fellowships in cardiology and tracks in interventional gastroenterology and hepatology. Each year many senior fellows pursue further specialization within fields such as gastroenterology, cardiology, pulmonology and health care management, while others join academic or community based practices.
