NJCTH member institutions are dedicated not only to high-quality patient care, but to health professions education and sophisticated research as well. In affiliation with the University of Medicine and Dentistry’s seven schools, NJCTH hospitals train more than 1,300 resident physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners each year. Upon completion of these programs, many of these professionals are likely to remain in the state and continue to care for New Jerseyans.
NJCTH’s mission as an organization is to provide leadership in the development of Centers of Excellence in health care delivery, education, and research, and to serve as the optimal setting for the provision of outstanding patient care and for the education of health care professionals.
