Subspecialty Electives

Over the course of residency, each trainee will complete approximately 15 blocks on subspecialty services. Foundational rotations are front-loaded into the first two years, ensuring that residents graduate with a strong clinical base. The third year is intentionally designed with flexibility, allowing residents to tailor their schedules toward personal interests and future career goals. At Mountainside, subspecialty education is enriched by the close involvement of dedicated faculty, who take pride in their hands-on teaching and mentorship.

Away Electives

As a member of the Hackensack Meridian Health System, Mountainside is part of a robust hospital system that offers electives at different sites. We also work with other institutions outside our network. The goal of these away electives (which are offered in the second and third years) is to expand the resident's exposure to different specialties and health systems.
