A message from the residency program director

Welcome to the Internal Medicine Residency program at Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center. I am truly honored that you are taking the time to learn more about our program.

Our robust, didactic curriculum exposes residents to a wide variety of clinical cases and provides a graduated experience as they gain more autonomy progressing towards independent practice. Our faculty members are committed to advising and mentoring our residents, and I have witnessed first-hand the warm support extended to residents by our program coordinators and departmental staff.

Morale is high, and there is an outstanding team spirit among those in our program. You will be joining an unbelievable group of residents!

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Other programs and opportunities

Do we have subspecialty fellowship programs?

Yes, Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center is host to the Rheumatology and Gastroenterology Fellowship programs. Having fewer fellows helps residents working one-on-one with subspecialty attendings during elective rotation, and procedures are directly supervised by subspecialty attendings.

Many of our recent graduates secured Atlantic Health fellowship positions in the following subspecialties:

Cardiology
Critical Care Medicine
Geriatric Medicine
Hematology Oncology
Sports Medicine

What other residency programs exist at Overlook Medical Center?

Overlook Medical Center has a vibrant academic graduate medical education community. You will meet and work closely with residents from Overlook’s dental, diagnostic radiology, family medicine and pharmacy residencies. There is a very collegial atmosphere, and all residencies participate in the Atlantic Health House Staff and Quality Council.

What types of research opportunities and resources are available?

Atlantic Health has an active institutional review board, and residents work with faculty members on both investigator and sponsor-initiated research. Atlantic Health also has robust online resources for didactic topics on the principle of research design, statistics, IRB approval process and other topics. Residents are expected to complete a case report by the end of the intern year.
