Program Identity & Fit

Jersey Shore University Medical Center's OB/GYN residency is a community-based program within the larger Hackensack Meridian Health network, situated on a campus that functions as a regional referral center with exposure to high-risk obstetric and complex gynecologic pathology despite its community identity. The program emphasizes a close-knit, family-oriented training culture with formal resident-faculty mentorship, early robotic surgery training (Da Vinci), a dedicated simulation center, and designation as one of roughly 100 Ryan Residency Training programs in family planning. Career outcomes are genuinely mixed, with graduates pursuing generalist practice as well as fellowships in MIGS, urogynecology/FPMRS, and breast surgical oncology, and a number of alumni returning as faculty. The program appears to value collegiality, longitudinal mentorship, and well-rounded clinical/surgical competency over a singular research or subspecialty pipeline.
