Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency at Jersey Shore University Medical Center
Welcome Message from the Program Director
We are so excited about your interest in the Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. For over fifty years, our program has trained clinically skilled and compassionate graduates who are dedicated to caring for their patients and community.
Our faculty take pride in teaching residents while providing safe, quality patient care. They are also devoted to mentorship, research, and preparing residents for a dynamic future practice of medicine. Our residents receive extensive training in obstetrics, gynecology, maternal fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, comprehensive family planning, pediatric/adolescent gynecology and breast surgery.
Residency is a time of immense professional and personal growth, so we aim to foster an environment that encourages residents to learn and thrive while at work while also investing in their whole selves, hobbies and relationships outside of the hospital.
Our program provides our residents with the resources to develop into strong, confident OB/GYNs who provide comprehensive, evidence-based care to varied patient populations. This training sets them up to be successful as generalists or to pursue subspecialty training.
Thank you for your interest!

Program Overview
The OB/GYN Residency program at Jersey Shore University Medical Center is a community-based, academic residency located in Neptune, NJ, which is a year round shore community.
There are 5 residents per year at our residency program at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Our residents receive all of their clinical experiences within our one hospital and varied outpatient offices. Over the 4 years of residency, our residents rotate through general obstetrics and gynecology and have dedicated rotations in each ob/gyn subspecialty. Many of our residents choose to pursue fellowship after early exposure to subspecialties. Many of our graduates also choose to become generalists and to our delight, some choose to stay on as faculty!
Our faculty is dedicated to teaching and we balance our clinical work with an emphasis on education. This includes 4 hours per week of dedicated didactic time and activities like monthly Journal Clubs, Grand Rounds, Morbidity and Mortality conferences. We have a robust research program with research meetings built into protected time and a research rotation during the PGY3 year. Our residents have made substantial contributions to the literature and have presented at national and international meetings during their residency.
Our campus is a regional referral center for the Hackensack Meridian Health network so our residents gain valuable experience in managing high risk patients and patients with complex comorbidities and rare complications. Our residents complete a robotic training curriculum and become skilled in robotic surgery. We incorporate simulation at a state of the art simulation center into resident didactics. We are also a Ryan Residency Training program in Family Planning and residents will receive full-scope family planning training during their residency. During PGY3, residents can schedule external rotations to enhance their learning and explore potential fellowship opportunities. Whether our residents pursue fellowship training or choose to practice as generalists, they finish residency well-prepared and successful in their chosen paths.
