About
the Department
Each year, the department handles in excess of 3,500
live births, 6,000 admissions and 12,000 outpatient
visits. In addition, there are approximately 2,000
gynecological surgical admissions. The department
has12 labor rooms, 7 triage beds, 2 pre-op pep beds
and four post-anesthesia beds with total electronic
monitoring. In addition there are three well-equipped
delivery/operating rooms, and 38 private postpartum
beds.
Monmouth is a state-designated regional perinatal
center with 9 bed ante-partum unit, where high-risk
patients with maternal and neonatal complications
are received and treated. The center serves as an
educational and consulting resource to hospitals and
obstetricians throughout central and southern New
Jersey. Residents work alongside the sub-specialists
in maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology who staff
the center. Patients are seen in an outpatient setting
comparable to a private office.

About
the Program
Residents in Monmouth Medical Center’s obstetrics
and gynecology program learn more than just the medical
and surgical skills needed to become a physician in
this specialized field. They develop professionalism,
an important clinical competency. With professionalism
a resident will learn the importance of learning,
self-education and continuing medical education. An
honest approach to colleagues, family and patients
is emphasized. With understanding of cultural diversities,
residents will be able to offer their patients and
families the best quality of care and support. Residents
are exposed to Reproductive Endocrinology Infertility
(REI), Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM), Gynecologic
oncology and Urogynecology both in the clinic setting
and with the sub specialists on staff. After completing
the four-year residency—a total of 24 months
devoted to clinical obstetrics and another 24 months
to clinical gynecology—residents are eligible
to sit for their boards, as well trained generalists
and qualified to seek subspecialty fellowships

About
the Faculty
A highly regarded teaching faculty brings a wealth
of experience to the residency program in academics,
clinical knowledge and patient care. Certified sub-specialists
in maternal fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology
and gynecologic oncology and urogynecology are part
of the faculty, which takes an active role in helping
residents plan their future-whether it’s starting
private practice or entering a postgraduate fellowship.

What
to Expect
Residents combine a full academic schedule with clinical
experience. They are assigned to both inpatient and
outpatient services, assuring treatment of all types
of patients.
Residents gain experience working collaboratively
with nurse-midwives. In addition, residents develop
close working relationships with other departments,
particularly pediatrics in the care of newborns. Residents
have training in fields that complement the study
of obstetrics and gynecology, including anesthesiology,
pathology, oncology, radiation therapy, medicine,
psychiatry, breast diseases, emergency medicine, and
geriatrics.
Because surgical experience is an important part
of the program, residents receive intensive traditional
surgical and operative endoscopy instruction. Along
with one-on-one operating room teaching and close
supervision there is availability of a complete four
station laparoscopy training suite on campus.
In the first year, the education is broadly based,
and includes a one-month rotation in the emergency
department and four months of ambulatory primary care,
a one-month rotation in geriatrics.
While obstetrics is the primary focus of the first
year, training in obstetrics and gynecology and primary
care is fully integrated for the next three years.
Oncology is included in the third and fourth years.
In clinical obstetrics, residents are involved in
an integrated program of perinatal care, including
identifying and assessing high-risk mothers, intrapartum
care and postpartum family planning.
There is instruction in obstetric techniques and
maneuvers, as well as in advanced methodology of fetal
monitoring, genetics, ante-partum testing and ultrasonography.
In clinical gynecology, residents care for both
outpatients and inpatients with a full range of gynecological
problems, and also participate in family planning
clinics.
Since residents develop skills at different rates,
the program is structured around the individual to
assure that competency is gained in all phases of
gynecological and obstetrical practice. This is facilitated
by a small number of residents, an active service
and a committed staff.
Academically, activities include working and teaching
rounds, and grand rounds. This is supplemented by
frequent off campus educational opportunities.
Weekly staff seminars provide the forum for updates
on what’s happening in the field. Presentations
also involve ethics, health law and business of medicine.
Residents also are involved in departmental research
projects and are encouraged to develop their own research
interests, under the guidance of Monmouth’s
full-time epidemiologist research director and faculty
mentors.
