This
site will provide you with information about our department and
our residency program in Pediatrics. We are very proud of the
program which is under the expert leadership of Renuka Verma, MD,
our very talented Program Director and Carol Geiss, our equally
talented Program Coordinator. Our goal is to train residents to
become excellent pediatricians; we base the program on the recommended
competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, interpersonal and
communication skills, practice-based learning and improvement,
professionalism and systems-based practice.
Furthermore, we are
a Brazelton Touchpoints training center and all of our residents
receive this training. Touchpoints is a program developed by T.
Berry Brazelton, MD which stresses communication and a developmentally,
as well as culturally appropriate, approach to the child and family,
that values the child and the skills of the parents and puts the
focus on them.
Our hospital and faculty are affiliated with Drexel
University College of Medicine and St. George’s University
School of Medicine. We have students rotating throughout the year,
and our residents are an integral part of the teaching program;
we believe that everyone learns more through teaching!
As you navigate
our website, you will find information on a variety of topics relating
to the Children’s’ Hospital and
the Pediatric Residency. We will introduce you to our faculty,
the program schedule, our research efforts, the rotations, and
paths of our recent graduates. About half of our graduates pursue
additional training in a variety of fellowships and about half
go into practice throughout the United States and the world. We
have a wonderfully diverse group of residents and patients. We
hope you find all the information you want. We invite you to call
the department at
732-923-7250, email us (mfisher@sbhcs.com or reverma@sbhcs.com)
or write a letter.
Sincerely,
Margaret C Fisher, MD
Chair, Department of Pediatrics,
Monmouth Medical Center.
Professor of Pediatrics,
