Why Rutgers just entered the business of investigating the dead

Rutgers University will take over management and operations of the Bergen County Medical Examiner's Office, a move expected to open pipeline of talent to one of the most understaffed professions in the state and country.

I wonder if Rutgers will eventually have people in these offices around the state.

Good to see Rutgers make this type of inroads, especially in a county such as Bergen. The presence of Hackensack Meridian could have resulted in that entity and its new affiliation with Seton Hall (and the new med school they've started together) to be an option for taking over the County ME Office, although perhaps the student base/academic infrastructure on the med school side may still need a few years to ramp up before legitimately competing with Rutgers for that. Now Rutgers Med is more visible in their backyard so to speak, before SHU really even gets going.

Indeed, which includes the med schools, other healthcare-related academic units, the cancer institute, medical research centers, etc. Meanwhile, its partner in integrated healthcare delivery, RWJBarnabas Health, is the largest and most comprehensive healthcare system in the state.
