Monmouth Medical Center Named As Top Teaching Hospital

LONG BRANCH, NJ — Monmouth Medical Center was just named as one of America’s 50 Best Teaching Hospitals by The Washington Monthly.

The magazine is known for its annual ranking of American colleges and universities, which serves as an alternative to the Forbes and U.S. News & World Report rankings. The Washington Monthly ranks hospitals on how well they save lives, save money and serve the public.

Monmouth Medical Center was ranked 29th out of 50 of the nation’s top academic medical centers. Monmouth Medical Center is part of RWJBarnabas Health. Teaching hospital rankings were based on their performance in three broad categories: patient outcomes (mortality, etc.), civic leadership (treating lower-income and minority patients, etc.), and value of care (avoiding overtreatment).

Monmouth Medical Center serves as a regional medical campus of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School to teach third- and fourth-year medical students. It trains residents and fellows in Dental Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Orthopedic Surgery, Pathology, Pediatrics, Pharmacy, Diagnostic Radiology and General Surgery.
