New Jersey-Based Hospital, University to Partner on Medical School

New Jersey-based Cooper Hospital and Rowan University have announced plans to jointly open a new medical school, the Courier Post Online reports. The planned Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, which will be located in Camden, is said to be the first four-year allopathic medical school in South Jersey. As part of the plan, Rowan University will own and operate the planned medical school, but will hire Cooper physicians to serve as professors. The school will enroll an inaugural class of 100 students in 2012. Previously, Cooper had encouraged the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) to double the size of its four-year medical school in a bid to help Cooper Hospital compete with teaching hospitals in nearby Philadelphia. However, UMDNJ bowed out of the plan, citing financial constraints. The decision to partner with Rowan was further cemented by a decision by Gov. Jim Corzine (D) to close the Camden campus of Cooper by 2013 (Stillwell, Courier Post Online, 10/23/09).
