General Internal Medicine
About Our Division

Welcome to the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Division of General Internal Medicine’s website.

The Division of General Internal Medicine is the largest division within New Jersey Medical School’s Department of Medicine. Under the leadership of Ana Natale- Pereira, MD, MPH, our division includes over 25 outstanding faculty members and support staff committed to providing exceptional and comprehensive quality care.

Our mission is to deliver excellence and advancement in the areas of patient care, teaching, health services, research, and community health. Our clinical area of focus includes Primary Care, Medicine-Pediatrics, Geriatrics Medicine, Occupational Medicine, and Preventive Medicine. Additionally, we provide a robust educational training program in support of medical students, residents, and fellows, on campus and at affiliated institutions. Members of our faculty serve in numerous important leadership positions, participate in various committees at NJMS, University Hospital, and in the community.  They are also engaged in training residents in Urban Health and Addiction Medicine.

Our division has a strong commitment to our community.  We participate in several community-based healthcare initiatives aimed at addressing barriers to quality healthcare.  Some of our initiatives include, a clinical partnership with Newark Community Health Care Center, the largest FQHC in the Newark Greater area. Also, the NJCEED- Screening Access for Value (SAVE) Program, one of the longest state- funded community – cancer prevention programs for the uninsured that offers breast, cervical, prostate, and colorectal cancer screening services in Essex County.
The division aims to continue expanding these initiatives to provide more on-site community healthcare services to other areas in the Greater Newark Area.

Our ambulatory practice is located at:

• Rutgers Health at University Hospital Ambulatory Care Center (ACC), F- Level, 140 Bergen Street, Newark
