title: Getting schooled in governance. N.J. enacts law that will require hospital trustees to receive certified training through class, special leadership curriculum.

And it could start a trend, as more and more hospitals come under greater scrutiny. "I think trustee leadership is crucial to the survival of the hospitals in New Jersey," said Fred Jacobs, left, state health commissioner.
