Atlantic Health System-Morristown Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated community-based OB/GYN residency at Morristown Medical Center, academically linked to Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, functioning as a regional perinatal referral center with 24/7 in-house hospitalist coverage for high-acuity obstetric care. The program's identity centers on high gynecologic surgical volume exceeding ACGME minimums across all modalities (vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic, abdominal), broad subspecialty exposure (GYN-ONC, MFM, FPMRS with its own fellowship, REI with fellowship, MIGS, Family Planning, Pediatric/Adolescent Gynecology), and structured fellowship-preparation pathways including elective time explicitly aligned to desired fellowship departments. Curricular infrastructure emphasizes procedural competency (on-site FLS training/testing, biocskills lab) alongside a formal scholarly track (quarterly research mentor meetings, annual research day, CREOG/ABOG-aligned didactics) and explicit attention to well-being and healthcare disparities. Graduates pursue both competitive subspecialty fellowships (MFM, FPMRS, GYN-ONC) and private practice, indicating the program values residents who can perform at high surgical volume while also engaging meaningfully in mentored research.
