President Joel S. Bloom, in an earlier episode from the fall of 2019, was recently featured on the Businessweek Podcast.

Joel S. Bloom, president of NJIT, joined Bloomberg's Businessweek podcast to discuss the opening of a mobile medical care unit to aid in fighting COVID-19, as well as NJIT's response to the pandemic.

Earlier this month, NJIT alongside University Hospital and the Tuchman Foundation, unveiled a prototype of a modular, mobile medical care facility to be deployed to areas of surging disease outbreaks and other disasters, as well as to regions that lack health care infrastructure. The modules, developed in response to the extreme challenges to clinical capacity posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, are fabricated from 40-foot-long repurposed shipping containers and underwent tests for their effectiveness as triage centers in a series of staged patient-care simulations conducted by medical personnel at University Hospital.
