Dear CMSRU Community:
I am thrilled to share the exciting news that Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) has again been recognized among the 2024 Best Medical Schools for Primary Care and Best Medical Schools for Research by U.S. News & World Report. This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to excellence in medical education, research, and community service.
I am incredibly proud to announce that CMSRU has achieved a Tier 2 rating in Primary Care and a Tier 3 rating in Research. Our Tier 2 Primary Care rating is particularly noteworthy as it is higher than any other medical school in the Philadelphia region and the entire State of New Jersey. This recognition reaffirms our efforts to cultivate compassionate, innovative, and dedicated physician leaders who are committed to improving patient care and health outcomes.
The significance of this achievement is further emphasized by the fact that we are facing a shortage of primary care physicians in New Jersey and across the country. This accolade from U.S. News & World Report serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire CMSRU community.
This year marks the first time U.S. News has implemented a tiered rating system for medical schools. Only schools in Tier 1 and Tier 2 are eligible to use Best Medical School award badges, underscoring the excellence of the institutions that receive this honor.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each one of you – our faculty, staff, students, and alumni – for your unwavering dedication and hard work. It is because of your passion and commitment that CMSRU continues to thrive and achieve such remarkable milestones. Together, we will continue to lead the way in medical education, research, and community service.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to CMSRU.
Warm regards,
Annette C. Reboli, MD
