Clinical rotations are organized by disease site, which allows residents to learn each site in depth with the guidance of a sub-specialist. All rotations follow either a 1:1 or 2:1 attending\/resident model.\u00a0 Rotations occur at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital\u00a0in New Brunswick, University Hospital in Newark, Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston or the East Orange Veteran\u2019s Affairs Hospital.\u00a0 Each site has a different clinical emphasis and patient population resulting in wide variety of experiences for our residents. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the course of clinical years, residents rotate through many disease sites.\u00a0 The curriculum comprises breast, genitourinary\/gynecological, thoracic, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, head and neck, pediatric\/lymphoma and sarcoma\/cutaneous rotations.\u00a0 Residents are given the opportunity to complete more than one rotation block in sites of particular interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>Residents evenly split weekly home call.\u00a0 Duties of the on-call resident include handling in-patient consults specific to radiation treatment, as well as night-time patient questions.\u00a0 Residents always have the support of an on-call attending.<\/span><\/p>\n

Academic Excellence<\/span><\/h3>\n

We have a strong track record of first attempt passing of the written and oral qualifying examination.\u00a0 We believe this is due to the rigorous clinical experience that trainees are exposed to during residency. \u00a0 The training program begins after the completion of a preliminary or transitional PGY I year and consists of four years total.\u00a0 Residents will complete a minimum of 36 months of clinical rotation, which is broken into two-month blocks.\u00a0 A minimum of 6 months of research elective is also guaranteed, with ability to apply and escalate this to a full 12 months of research elective.<\/p>\n
