They utilized technology like AI from Singapore & a robot to connect with an ophthalmologist from @UnivHospNewark remotely--to help detect vision-threatening diseases, including cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.

Our students! Congratulations once again to our MS4s who matched!

[Rutgers University @RutgersU]

When Jessica Pinto’s 17-year-old brother died suddenly in 2018, she wasn’t sure whether she should continue her studies to become a physician or take time off to grieve. On Match Day, she learned where she would complete her medical training.
