our program different. Our faculty is
known for their willingness to teach

week rules. Thus, our resident call

locations at Stratford, and Washington
Township.
Sub-specialty

Oncology. An additional focused
one or two month, rotation in Gynecologic
Oncology is conducted at Cooper Hospital

sub-specialty training.

twenty residents. Generally,
five positions are
available for each year.
