Black Issues in Higher Education, May 20, 2004

The New Jersey Medical School at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) is the recipient of a $3.2 million grant from the Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey to establish a Center for Humanism. The grant, the largest single grant ever awarded by the Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey, will be matched by a $1.2 minion commitment for student scholarships from UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School.

This initiative will focus exclusively on training doctors in compassionate care and becoming medical and scientific experts on humanism in medicine.
