Highlights
Working Environment
and Duty Hours
Monmouth Medical Center provides residents with a
sound academic and clinical education that is carefully
planned and balanced with concerns for patient safety
and resident well-being. Each residency program ensures
that the learning objectives of the program are not
compromised by excessive reliance on residents to
fulfill service obligations. Didactic and clinical
education have priority in the allotment of residents’
time and energies. Duty hour assignments recognize
that faculty and residents collectively have responsibility
for the safety and welfare of patients. Each program
has a duty hours policy and procedure that is in compliance
with, and often exceeds, the standards of the ACGME
common and program-specific requirements for work
hours, time off, and call, as well as fatigue education
and monitoring.
