Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/21/2019, Dr. Rajab has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
I am very impressed with the entire donor team. Everyone is very professional, organized and great communicators. I had a top notch, first class experience and I know when I give my kidney to someone in need, it is in the best hands to hopefully save their live. With OSU Wexner it is possible. Thank you for your AMAZING team! Gen.
