Over the past six decades, there have been incredible advances in the field of surgery, and many of these accomplishments have been achieved in teaching environments such as Monmouth. Advances occur in teaching hospitals because physicians are in a position to take part in important clinical research, with resident physicians working closely alongside them as part of their educational experience. In fact, Monmouth Medical Center became one of the first hospitals in the country to track major surgical complications and outcomes 10 years ago. Monmouth is proud of its status in offering the lowest surgical mortality in New Jersey (0.2 percent at MMC vs. 1.0 percent statewide).

Because of this commitment to teaching, Monmouth always has been able to attract the top physicians in their fields who want to work in an academic environment.
