Holy Name Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Holy Name's Family Medicine Residency is a community hospital-based program in Teaneck, NJ that blends full-spectrum inpatient and outpatient training, including inpatient family medicine, OB, general surgery, emergency medicine, and inpatient pediatrics at an affiliated university hospital, with progressive continuity clinic exposure that grows from one to four half-day sessions weekly. Scholarly activity is mandatory for every resident (a research abstract or two case/QI abstracts), supported by the medical center's own Institute for Clinical Research infrastructure, signaling that academic output is a structural expectation rather than an optional add-on. The mission-driven language around social determinants of health, healthcare disparities, and community resource navigation, paired with a faith-based, community-service institutional identity, points to a program oriented toward full-spectrum generalist practice rather than subspecialty pipeline production. The curriculum's breadth (15+ elective specialties in PGY-3, population health emphasis) and explicit focus on well-being and sustainable careers suggest the program values well-rounded generalists who can manage complexity across inpatient and outpatient settings while contributing to scholarly work.
