FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM

An unopposed program is a residency in a hospital that does not sponsor other ACGME residencies. Our residents find this an advantage because they work directly with attendings and have the opportunity to be in charge. We do have podiatry and surgery colleagues that we work with at the hospital.

Because Hoboken is well connected to both public transportation and major roadways, our residents can choose to live in a variety of settings. Some residents live in Hoboken, Bayonne, Jersey City, North Bergen, Weehawken, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, while others prefer a more suburban area and live farther away.

Our residency program strives to help you follow your dream career path, and our
graduates have chosen to pursue many areas of family medicine.

Others pursue academic positions and have become program directors and faculty. Some graduates have directly opened their own practice, while others have worked for community health centers, single family medicine practices or group practices. Several are currently in leadership positions in their organizations. The majority of graduates join practices. CarePoint Health is interested in retaining graduates of our residency to join the CarePoint Health Medical Group and Hospitalist service.

Yes, as residents determine what they want to do after graduation, the faculty advisor helps guide the resident through the process. Everything from helping to write a CV and personal statement, to reviewing job contracts is covered. There are didactic sessions and individual support to assist the residents. The hospital administration is very supportive and will help residents start or join practices in the community.

Residents are entitled to maternity, paternity, caregiver leave or family leave based on ACGME and State and Federal regulations.
