Monmouth Medical Education
Work Environment and Benefits
Benefit Highlights
Working Environment and Duty Hours
Monmouth Medical Center provides residents with a sound academic and clinical
education that is carefully planned and balanced with concerns for patient
safety and resident well-being. Each residency program ensures that the
learning objectives of the program are not compromised by excessive reliance
on residents to fulfill service obligations. Didactic and clinical education
have priority in the allotment of residents’ time and energies.
Duty hour assignments recognize that faculty and residents collectively
have responsibility for the safety and welfare of patients. Each program
has a duty hours policy and procedure that is in compliance with, and
often exceeds, the standards of the ACGME common and program-specific
requirements for work hours, time off, and call, as well as fatigue education
and monitoring.
