The Department provides a collaborative setting for the study of basic mechanisms of disease, educational scholarship, and clinical, translational and health services research to provide new insights to the mechanisms and treatment of childhood diseases. The Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine is consistently ranked as one of the highly NIH-funded academic universities and Rutgers both brings the excitement and energy of a Big 10 University and is a member of the Association of American Universities comprising the top comprehensive research universities in North America. Adjacent to the Children’s hospital is the PSE&G Children’s Specialized Hospital which is one of the country’s largest inpatient acute rehabilitation hospitals for children.
