Medical School Board


The Medical School Board of Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) is a group of individuals strongly committed to the mission and vision of CMSRU. This Board serves as the general oversight body of the medical school, acting at all times, subject to the reserve powers of the Rowan University Board of Trustees.

The Medical School Board is responsible for approving the mission and goals of CMSRU, advising the Dean, supporting and enhancing CMSRU's image among key constituent groups, monitoring the operations and execution of the Educational Program, as well as many other review and approval duties as directed by the Rowan University Board of Trustees.

The Board meets quarterly, with additional work carried out in committees that may include faculty, staff, and others as non-voting representatives.
