The Internal Medicine Residency Program at Cooper University Hospital– University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Camden offers a unique academic university hospital experience.
The medical residency program currently consists of 54 residents. There are 22 PGY-1 positions: 6 of these are preliminary, for residents planning on entering other fields, and 16 are three-year positions. The match numbers for these programs are: Preliminary, 138015; Categorical, 138016.
We are a core clinical campus of the UMDNJ–Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and students are actively involved in the program. We have an active fellowship program, with ten ACGME–approved fellowships, including cardiology, clinical cardiac electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonary/critical care medicine and critical care medicine.
Each general medicine team consists of a hospitalist faculty, a junior or senior resident, an intern, and several medical students. We have a rolling admissions system and adhere strictly to ACGME rules on caps for the number of patients covered by interns and residents.
House officers have primary care responsibility; attendings serve to supervise and teach. House officers also rotate on the oncology floor, the stroke unit, the CCU and cardiology step-down unit, and the ICU. The ICU is supervised by a team of internationally known intensivists.
