Program Director’s Message

Message from Internal Medicine Program Director:

I appreciate your interest in our Internal Medicine Residency Program. As the largest program in New Jersey, with 126 residents, our community-based program provides a uniquely robust training experience with rotations in three hospitals near New York City: St. Mary’s General Hospital in Passaic, NJ, and Saint Clare’s Health in Denville and Dover, NJ. One of the unique aspects of our program is the opportunity for residents to train in three distinct healthcare settings, gaining exposure to diverse patient populations and broadening their clinical experience.

St. Mary’s General Hospital is located just ten miles from Manhattan in an urban setting, where residents encounter patients who often lack regular access to primary care and may face challenges related to insurance coverage. At St. Mary’s residents manage advanced pathologies and treat critically ill patients, honing their skills in acute care. Saint Clare’s Health in Denville and Dover, situated in a suburban area about thirty miles from Manhattan, serves a well-informed patient base with families who are actively involved in their care. This setting allows our residents to develop expertise in preventive care and learn to navigate the dynamics of informed patient interactions. Both hospitals offer access to a wide range of subspecialties, including infectious diseases, interventional and EP cardiology, hematology and oncology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and nephrology, ensuring comprehensive training.
