The Division of Allergy, Immunology and Infectious Diseases includes academic physician faculty members, nurse practitioners, nurses and a psychologist who provide care for children in the greater New Brunswick area. The Division also operates a State-funded comprehensive clinical and research HIV program. The clinical staff provide both inpatient consultations at the Bristol Myers Squibb Children's Hospital in New Brunswick as well as outpatient care at the Children's Health Institute of New Jersey, Somerset, Eatontown, and East Brunswick ambulatory facilities. Faculty members also participate in a rich gamut of teaching for medical students, residents in pediatrics and other specialties, and various subspecialty fellows, employing both clinical and didactic teaching methods. Our educational mission is focused on the development of the next generation of multi-talented physicians who will become leaders in patient care, education and research. RWJMS enrolls approximately 160 medical students each year, and oversees outstanding ACGME-accredited training programs, including a categorical pediatric residency and subspecialty fellowship training programs. The inpatient clinical services are provided at the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ, a five-time Magnet recipient that is recognized as "One of America's Best Children's Hospitals" by U.S. News and World Report .

Our New Brunswick-based clinical programs have achieved Accredited Status for Ambulatory Health Care by the Joint Commission, one of only a small number of academic ambulatory practices with this status. Adjacent to the RWJ Barnabas Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's hospital is the PSE&G Children's Specialized Hospital, which is one of the country's largest inpatient acute rehabilitation facilities for children.
