What You Need To Know

Jersey Shore University Medical Center’s new four-year Anesthesiology Residency Program, launching spring 2024, recently earned accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). 

Jersey Shore University Medical Center’s graduate medical education program dates back to the 1950’s and now includes 10 residency and 10 fellowship educational specialties.  

Jersey Shore University Medical Center (JSUMC) is a major affiliate of the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine; St. George’s University School of Medicine, and the Physician Assistant Program at Monmouth University. JSUMC sponsors ACGME-accredited residency training programs in General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry, as well as residencies in Pharmacy, Podiatry and Dentistry.  

Additionally, JSUMC provides a Pediatric Hospital Medicine Fellowship through the Department of Pediatrics; six fellowships in the Department of Medicine in Cardiovascular Disease, Endocrinology, Critical Care, Pulmonary Disease, Nephrology, and Hematology/Medical Oncology; and fellowships in the Department of Psychiatry; Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine.

Residency training after medical school allows a graduating physician to specialize in specific areas of medicine and surgery. Fellowship training after residency enables physicians to specialize further in specific fields of their specialty. JSUMC welcomed 96 new residents and fellows on July 1, 2023, to begin their respective training programs.  

Medical students and physicians interested in applying for the new Anesthesiology Residency Program or any JSUMC graduate medical education program should apply through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
