Learn more about the International Society of Pharmacoepidemiology’s Annual Meeting.
The Rutgers Center for Pharmacoepidemiology and Treatment Sciences (PETS) facilitates and performs innovative, multidisciplinary science related to the use and outcomes of therapeutics and diagnostics in large populations. The mission of the Center is to advance pharmacoepidemiology and related fields through world-class research and training. PETS is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the opportunities created by the breadth and scale of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS).
RBHS is one of America’s largest, most comprehensive university-based centers for studying and improving human health and health care. Established in 2013 through the integration of Rutgers University with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), RBHS comprises eight schools and their attendant faculty practices, centers, institutes, and clinics, including two medical schools and schools of pharmacy, nursing, and public health. RBHS is led by inaugural Chancellor Brian L. Strom, one of the founders of the field of pharmacoepidemiology.
