Program Overview

Introduction to the Pediatrics Residency Program

The Pediatrics Residency program at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine provides outstanding primary and specialty care training in a collegial and friendly environment. Residents care for a diverse patient population and receive training in a wide variety of disease pathology, preparing them well for a career as a pediatrics generalist or specialist based in a hospital or at an office.

Program Overview

The three-year residency program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Residents are supported and guided as they make important decisions about both patient care and their careers. As residents' experience and responsibilities increase, they are encouraged to take on additional leadership roles and make more decisions about the care of patients with supervision from faculty. This prepares our residents for independent practice and self-directed acquisition of basic scientific knowledge and cognitive and technical skills.

Clinical Training

Clinical training takes place at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island and other inpatient and outpatient settings. Residents train alongside faculty who are recognized for their expertise in patient care, teaching, and research, and are actively engaged in medical education across the continuum.

Program Outcomes

Our graduates are well prepared for successful careers post-residency, and many go on to leadership roles in prestigious academic medical centers. We are especially proud that our residents go on to fellowships in highly competitive specialties in top programs across the country. The success of our graduates is a reflection of our program's quality.

Program Leadership

The residency program is overseen by the program director, who is responsible for ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the program.
