Rutgers Health-New Jersey Medical School Program

Program Identity & Fit

Rutgers NJMS Radiology is a university-affiliated program built around a tri-institutional model that combines University Hospital, New Jersey's busiest Level 1 trauma center and safety-net quaternary referral hub, with Newark Beth Israel (transplant and pediatric subspecialty exposure) and Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center (large breast imaging center, neuro-interventional services). This structure gives residents high-acuity trauma and emergency imaging volume alongside subspecialized pediatric, transplant, and breast pathology rarely concentrated in one program. Research is resident-driven but well-supported, with a dedicated Radiology Simulation and Research Facility for vascular/endovascular work, an active radiation research division, and a consistent stream of resident publications and society presentations across subspecialties. Nearly all recent graduates pursue competitive subspecialty fellowships (neuroradiology, MSK, IR, breast, body imaging) at academic centers, indicating the program is oriented toward producing subspecialized academic-track radiologists while offering an ESIR pathway for those focused on interventional careers.
