AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

AtlantiCare is a new and expanding community-based, hospital-affiliated 4-4-4 Family Medicine program in Atlantic City, NJ, built around inpatient training at two hospital campuses (City and Mainland) and a continuity clinic housed in an FQHC serving a socioeconomically, culturally and ethnically diverse population. The curriculum is broad-spectrum generalist family medicine with expanding elective time from PGY2 onward (up to 20 weeks in PGY3) allowing tailoring toward interests such as sports medicine, geriatrics, or integrative/preventive medicine, and didactics include simulation, procedure workshops, Balint groups, and community health blocks. Career outcomes lean toward community and primary care practice, with occasional fellowship placement (e.g., sports medicine), and the program explicitly values community outreach experience and collaborative, team-based interdisciplinary training with internal medicine and psychiatry residents. Innovation, adaptability, and service to an underserved, safety-net patient population are stated organizational priorities rather than research output or subspecialty academic prestige.
