Rutgers School of Health Related Professions will become Rutgers School of Health Professions.

Good. "Related" made the name sound awkward.

Edited to the correct med school....Now change "Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School" to "Rutgers Medical School."

 

[Upstream]

Now change "Rutgers New Jersey Medical School" to "Rutgers Medical School."

That would be a mistake.

Rutgers has 2 medical schools: New Jersey Medical School in Newark and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick.

To rename the medical school in Newark as Rutgers Medical School would create the impression that is the flagship medical school of Rutgers University, and it would diminish the stature of the medical school in New Brunswick.

Oops, I mistakenly used the Newark school but meant RWJMS in New Brunswick should be renamed to Rutgers Medical School. We have a similar confusion issue with having 2 med schools that we had when we had 2 differently named law schools. I'm not a fan of either.
