Rowan-Virtua SOM Student Health & Wellness

Rowan-Virtua SOM Student Health & Wellness, led by Dr. Todd Schachter, is staffed by a team of experienced and compassionate healthcare professionals, including psychologist, Dr. Paul Furtaw, to support the mental and physical health needs of Rowan-Virtua SOM Student Doctors.

Whether medical students prefer the convenience of teletherapy or in-person appointments, Dr. Furtaw offers free confidential counseling and performance coaching to SOM medical students across both campuses.

An individual may be self-referred, referred by the Office of Student Affairs, or other department of the school. Confidentiality of the student is respected and no treating physician or clinician will have a role in the delivery of the medical student education. Services include:

• evaluation and assessment
• individual, short-term, dynamic psychotherapy
• referral to appropriate resources
• stress management workshops
