New Medical School Partnership with Seton Hall University

Seton Hall University is a medium-sized school of just under 6,000 students in South Orange, NJ. It is a Catholic university with terrific majors in nursing, business, engineering, and much more. In January, Seton Hall began its quest to add even more to their school, by signing a memorandum of understanding with Hackensack University Health Network to form a new, four-year school of medicine. If all goes well, when this is finalized, this partnership will establish the only private medical school in the state of New Jersey. The location on this campus will be in Nutley and Clifton at a state-of-the-art biomedical facility.

In an email sent from Seton Hall's President, Dr, Gabriel Esteban, he estimates that by 2020, there will be a shortage of 2,500 physicians in the Garden State. He goes on to state that "HackensackUHN and Seton Hall's joint venture to create a premier academic institution will help combat the physician shortage by providing key educational, research, and career opportunities to incentivize the next generation to pursue a career in medicine". It is Dr. Esteban's hope that the future school will be "committed to educational and healthcare excellence, cutting-edge research, high quality care, and the advancement of medical and health science educational imperatives".

This is a fabulous opportunity for individuals looking to go into the medical field and stay close to home. Please follow Seton Hall's progress with this new medical school, which should open in the next 3 years.

-Mr. Joseph D. Korfmacher
