Education

Our rotations are built on a 6+2 schedule, where 6 weeks of inpatient experiences and electives are followed by 2 weeks of ambulatory experiences.  This allows for more in-depth exposure to both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Inpatient Experience

The inpatient experience includes general medical floors, medical step-down unit, medical intensive care unit (MICU), and cardiac care unit (CCU). Thanks to a robust Night Medicine rotation, we have no 24-hr call except in the CCU. We emphasize a balance of autonomy and supervision and provide 24-hour in-house attending support.  In addition to a rich clinical experience involving close interaction with attendings at​​ the bedside, residents have a strong didactic schedule with protected time, emphasizing small-group interactive case-based sessions.

Ambulatory Experience

Resident continuity clinic takes place in a patient-centered medical home. Residents work closely with nurses, social workers, clinical pharmacists, and dieticians to help patients achieve their health goals.

  • Ambulatory curriculum incorporates common outpatient clinical topics, as well as sessions in POCUS, Systems Based Practice, Quality Improvement, Evidence Based Medicine, Teaching skills, Medical Interviewing, Social Determinants of Health, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

  • Online modules (Yale curriculum and Hopkins PEAC modules) are used to enhance learning. Residents have 2 protected academic half-days each ambulatory block, allowing for a longitudinal didactic experience in small-group interactive workshops. PGY2 and PGY3 residents also have Board Review Sessions one morning a week.

Resident Life

For life outside the hospital, New York offers everything you could wish for, whether you are looking to relax, be entertained, or raise a family.  

Residents have a wide choice of affordable places to live.  Some live within walking distance to the hospital, while many others live in Long Island City, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Westchester, and Long Island.  Our location allows residents to experience the vibrant city while having the option of living in a more suburban setting if they prefer.  Experiencing all that New York City has to offer is easy.  The hospital is located next to several major subway lines, so you can get anywhere in the city in 20-30 minutes.  If you are looking to travel regionally or beyond, Amtrak, MetroNorth, Long Island Railroad, JFK and LaGuardia airports are a quick subway or bus ride away.

​

Living and working in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the world has benefits beyond the walls of the hospital.  Residents here take advantage of the vast cultural and gastronomic options our lively immigrant community has to offer.  Walking East from the Hospital, along the historic Roosevelt Avenue, is a culinary journey through Mexico and Central and South America.  Alternatively, simply walk in the other direction and you’ll come upon large South and Southeast Asian neighborhoods.  The Thai restaurants across the street from the hospital are widely considered to be the best in New York.  Just next door are the historically Greek, Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern communities of Astoria, and the ever-growing business district of Long Island City.  At Elmhurst, you’ll never be hungry or bored.

The program is large enough that you are certain to find colleagues who share your interests, but not so big that you will get lost in the mix or miss out on meeting people.  We are a close-knit program and like spending time with each other outside of work, whether one-on-one, in small groups, or at program-wide events.
