 Hackensack University Medical Center is a place where people really want to go to train. We have tremendous faculty. We have a brand new medical school. We have residencies that are really at the top. We have a tremendously diverse patient population, so it's a great place to learn and people recognize that and our residencies are very competitive. People want to come here. Hackensack University Medical Center is a large teaching and research hospital that consistently ranks nationally for the quality and the innovative care it delivers. What attracted me to the program here at Hackensack University Medical Center was the wealth of resources that the hospital has and the experiences that I would get here, which I may lack at smaller community hospitals. Despite this large hospital, we're a small program, only 12 categorical residencies here. This allows us to give a really tailored resident experience that optimizes the resident's ability to take advantage of all these opportunities available. Our residency is expansive, covers all areas, it's individualized and I think that the residents get a first-grade education and opportunity to experience specialty medicine, perhaps more so than in other hospitals. I think everyone realizes in first-year residency, there are a lot of things you don't know and you need a little bit more of that hand-holding, but as you get into second year and third year, you're given the opportunity to make management decisions yourself and be pretty autonomous in the way you treat your patients. Very often in residency training, residents are the ones who fill in the holes for dysfunctional systems. It doesn't happen here. Your focus is on patient care and on your education, not on making sure that a test gets run or someone gets to re-eology, that gets done. I think the resources here are second to none and so if you're thinking of going into specialty after internal medicine, then this would really be the place to do it because you've got a lot of capability that you get exposure to here that you may lack in other programs. I think HACA-SAC is an outstanding place to train. All of the services are strong and everybody works together to try to produce the best outcome for patients. The residents who leave here will reflect upon their time and their residency, not so much for the challenges, but really for the relationships that they develop and how those relationships sustain them through a long career in internal medicine.
