• Student Group Receives National Award to Help Camden Teens Stay Healthy

  A student group at the UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine, under the guidance of the school’s Department of Family Medicine, has been named one of just seven recipients of a 2009 Caring for Community grant from the Association of American Medical Colleges. The grant will support the REACH (Revitalizing Education and Advancing Camden’s Health) project that will implement youth-initiated community health service projects in Camden and will use a problem-based learning approach to teach preventative health to select groups of Camden middle school students. The grant provides $11,800 for the first year of the project with the potential to receive an additional $17,000 over the next three years. (read more)
