Welcome! I'm glad to know that you are interested in our PM&R residency
program here at New Jersey Medical School. We have a very dynamic
program with outstanding residents, and I hope that you will consider
joining us to continue your education and training. We take pride in
our residents not only for their academic achievements and knowledge,
but also for their humanism and the ability to provide the highest quality
patient care.
Our residency program is committed to providing you with the best
possible environment for learning Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
We have an excellent faculty to resident ratio (typically 1:1), and all
faculty are chosen to be primary teaching faculty based on their
teaching skills and clinical knowledge. Research opportunities are plentiful,
and there are many experienced researchers to help you develop your
research abilities. We also have many faculty in leadership roles on a
national level, and we strive to foster leadership ability in our residents.
The diversity of patient care settings will expose you to a huge breadth
of medical conditions, and will give you the knowledge base and confidence
to pratice in any setting you choose after graduation. The environment
for
learning is warm and supportive, and residents are given a voice
in the residency program so that we can change the program to
meet your needs. I consider residency an opportunity for learning
and great personal growth, and look forward to mentoring you
along this path. I hope you will consider joining us!
