Welcome Message from the Program Director
Welcome to the Ob/Gyn Residency Program at Hackensack University Medical Center, a nationally recognized quaternary care academic institution.
We are an ACGME accredited Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency with 16 categorical resident positions. We have designed an innovative curriculum that provides a wide range of educational, surgical, and research opportunities in a state-of-the-art hospital with cutting-edge technology. The curriculum has been developed to maximize learning, team-work and
innovation. Our residents are partners in these endeavors, and we take pride in our supportive mentorship, supervision, and strong camaraderie among residents and faculty.
Our mission is to train physicians with a passion to become the best Obstetrician and Gynecologists, whether generalist or subspecialist. We accomplish this by recruiting highly-motivated candidates who appreciate the patient-centered and team-approach to medical training. We are looking for physicians who love to learn, welcome challenges, embrace diversity and aspire to excellence. We provide you with the tools, resources and opportunities to flourish. A successful residency program at its core places the resident first. We encourage residents to be the fabric of our evaluation, review and promotion process and rely upon constant feedback from them to create ongoing, positive changes.
We believe that residents who shape their program in this way remain active learners throughout the educational experience. I welcome you to discover what Hackensack University Medical Center offers and invite you to be part of our Graduate Medical Education Program.
