“As a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, it’s an honor to serve my country. It also is rewarding to have the chance to give back to my community as a medical school student,” says Rutgers medical student Daniel Tejada in a recent op-ed. “Rutgers is already a critical element of our community’s healthcare system, and as the university embarks on merging its medical schools, I can see how the community - including patients at University Hospital - will benefit from improved healthcare services.” Read more from Tejada about growing up as a Newark native, his journey in the Air Force and medical school, and why merging the two medical schools at Rutgers will benefit both its students and the communities it serves: go.rutgers.edu/pvasekru

Congratulations to the 24 high school students who recently completed our Rutgers University PHOENIX summer program which introduces students to careers in the health professions, public & population health. The students also learned about the impact of social determinants on health, engaged in community service to address food insecurity & became part of our Rutgers Health Service Corps. Thanks also to the Rutgers faculty & staff who made the program a great success again. We can't wait for next year's summer program! https://lnkd.in/egpejvTY
