The Family Medicine Residency Program at Morristown Medical Center is an ACGME accredited program with osteopathic recognition. The program aims to equip residents with the knowledge, skills, and demeanor necessary to manage a wide range of diseases encountered in family medicine practice. Residents receive comprehensive training to apply osteopathic principles in patient care.

The program emphasizes providing high-quality, evidence-based medical care to the community and creating a patient-centered medical home. Affiliated with Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine and Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, the program focuses on offering top-notch medical education to learners.

Application eligibility requires applicants to have graduated from a medical school in the United States or Canada accredited by LCME or AOA, or meet specific qualifications for graduates from medical schools outside the U.S. Preference is given to applicants with recent osteopathic training and proficiency in English language competencies.

The program does not sponsor visas and gives preference to candidates scoring 400 or higher on COMLEX Level 1 and Level 2, or 200 or higher on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. Selection criteria include performance on standardized medical tests, commitment to Family Medicine ideals, recent clinical training, maturity, and demonstration of goals achievement.

For those interested in osteopathically focused programs, the residency prioritizes applicants with pre-existing knowledge and skills in Osteopathic Philosophy and Practice and gives preference to graduates from AACOM accredited osteopathic medical schools or supplemental education programs.
