The Surgical Residency Program at SFMC has been in existence since 1947 as a freestanding training program. In 1999, the program became a university affiliate with the prestigious Seton Hall University, in South Orange, New Jersey. There are 15 positions available to the Department of Surgery, which graduate 2 fully trained general surgeons each year. There are 9 faculty members at SFMC; several of these members are full time, with a full time program director, all of which are dedicated to the training of these residents. In addition, the SFMC surgical residents rotate to St. Joseph’s Regional   Medical Center in Patterson, NJ, where they receive training in Trauma and Pediatric Surgery. Overall, the surgical residents are trained in general surgery, including thoracic, bariatric, minimally invasive, vascular, surgical intensive care, colorectal, breast, trauma, pediatric, and complicated oncologic surgery.

The surgical residents at SFMC are in the best-developed and highly qualified surgical departments in Mercer County. It is truly the only academic program in central New Jersey.

Internal Medicine

There are a total of 23 residents in the Internal Medicine Program. We also
rank through the NRMP each year with 8 categorical slots and 2 designated
preliminary residents. Designated means that they must have matched in a
program that begins in the second year and will need to complete their first
year in Medicine. They must have a commitment letter from a program
before we can even consider them for one of two slots. There are 13
rotations per year including Emergency Medicine, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Ambulatory (private office), Dermatology, Office Gynecology, ENT. The residents are offered an opportunity in their
second year for an outside subspecialty elective. This is a very important
step for selection/entry into a Fellowship after completing training. Each resident gets 21 days vacation with 7 time off days. Every residents has
one in seven days off and will not be on call more than every fourth night.
Internal Medicine is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Graduate
Medical Education (ACGME) and is currently accredited for three years.
The next visit will be in 2010.
