Message from the Program Director

Thank you for taking time to review information about the Saint Barnabas Integrated Pathology Residency Program. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this site and have the opportunity to showcase our program. Saint Barnabas has a long history of graduate medical education in Pathology, hosting residents continuously since 1947. Newark Beth Israel and Monmouth Medical also share a long-term involvement in pathology postgraduate education. We have trained residents who are currently practicing throughout the United States and Canada, as well as Argentina, The Dominican Republic, The Philippines, Japan, New Zealand and the US Virgin Islands.

We maintain contact with many of our graduates who practice in New Jersey, keeping up with their progress and successes. We are always available to assist them with difficult situations.

To us, postgraduate education does not end when a resident graduates from the program. Rather, it is a career commitment to life-long learning. Our residents are a source of inspiration and motivation to be the best in our specialty and in our daily lives. A symbiotic relationship is formed between resident and teacher affording opportunities for learning on both sides.

Our program is structured and organized with designated rotations having specific goals and objectives. We strive to give our residents the best possible training and to that extent we feel we have achieved our goal. To date, 93% of our graduates who have taken the certifying examination of the American Board of Pathology have been successful. Our commitment to the education of our residents is unconditional and we intend to keep it that way.

Jonathan F. Lara, M.D.
