NJMS Healthcare Business Network (HBN) is a student-run interest group attempting to educate students at NJMS about the importance that business plays in the medical field. Knowing basic business and economics principles will help every student succeed as a physician because as we all know, the practice of medicine is a business, no matter what type of environment we practice in. HBN has had lectures on various topics ranging from how to operate a private practice to entrepreneurship in healthcare as well as the role of an MBA as an MD. Other than lectures, we plan on running through business cases that will teach important aspects of business in the realm of medicine to students and also have trips to local healthcare startups in NYC.

The mission of the Health Policy Interest Group (HPIG) is to educate the NJMS student community on current affairs of health policy at both the state and national level, in order to prepare students to enter the complex and continuously changing health care system as informed physician leaders. HPIG is dedicated to providing a fundamental understanding of the structure of the healthcare system, current legislative changes that are being implemented or discussed, and their implications on physician practice. We will also support students in identifying relevant opportunities to gain experience and knowledge in health policy, health services research, health outcomes, and population health. We hope to motivate students to become leaders, experts, or researchers that will continuously work toward improving the quality of our healthcare system.

Do you want to impact NJ health policy at a grassroots level? Members of the NJMS MEDOATS team (A chapter of a larger non-profit, the One and The Same Foundation) have been following a policy proposal written by NJMS students that has made it to the New Jersey Legislature. Another aspect of MEDOATS focuses on health policy communication, with students summarizing current health bills in the state of NJ through short, informative, animated videos. Work with members of Senator Bookers staff, Governor Murphy’s staff, and other members of the NJ state legislature!

NJMS Technology in Medicine is a student-run interest group aiming to educate students on the important role that new technology plays in the realm of medicine. We have had lectures in the past on integrating new technology into medicine and entrepreneurship in medicine. We have recently purchased and built a 3D printer for NJMS students and faculty to use. We hope that this initiative will garner interest in students and faculty to come up with new research projects as well as new clinical and educational uses utilizing 3D models. In the future, we hope to add more technology to NJMS that will help better education for NJMS students.
