• We provide an individualized educational experience, with flexibility built into the schedule, allowing residents to customize their training.
• Residents engage in cutting-edge research opportunities and personalized mentorship.
• Residents meet and work with our dedicated program leadership.

The program aims to:

• Provide a comprehensive three-year curriculum in general internal medicine in an environment that embraces a community-oriented model of patient care.
• Equip trainees with the knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care to communities with limited healthcare access and to address health issues affecting patients with barriers to care.
• Produce physician leaders in clinical practice, medical education, quality improvement, and healthcare innovation.

Curriculum

During their inpatient training, residents experience a variety of inpatient settings at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn and a hematology rotation at Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion. Resident-led conferences, rapid response simulations, and point-of-care ultrasound training provide hands-on learning opportunities.

Didactics

Our program is committed to providing a comprehensive, rigorous, and innovative education that prepares residents for excellence in patient care, research, and leadership in internal medicine. Our curriculum balances clinical experience with educational opportunities that enhance both medical knowledge and professional development.

Academic Half Day

Our interns and residents each have their own dedicated learning times: interns on Tuesday afternoons and residents on Thursday afternoons. During sessions, they participate in our innovative Academic Half Day, which flips the script on the traditional noon conference. Each session is crafted to be developmentally appropriate, interactive, and engaging, ensuring that interns and residents receive focused, high-quality education tailored to their stage of training.

Simulation Training

In our biweekly sim sessions, residents engage in realistic clinical scenarios that mimic the challenges they will encounter in practice. These scenarios cover a wide range of acute and emergent conditions, enabling residents to hone their decision-making, communication, and procedural skills. With expert faculty guidance and debriefing, residents gain valuable insights into their performance, learning not just what to do, but how to think critically under pressure.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training is an essential component of our curriculum, empowering residents to use ultrasound technology at the bedside for rapid diagnosis and guided procedures. These hands-on sessions are conducted on the inpatient floors, where residents practice scanning techniques on actual patients with real pathology. This training enhances their ability to make accurate, real-time decisions and prepares them for future practice.

Ambulatory Didactics ("Program Time")

We offer a comprehensive ambulatory curriculum designed to enrich the learning experience of our medical residents throughout their three-year program. This curriculum features a dynamic blend of lectures, workshops, problem-based learning sessions, clinical skills workshops, and more, ensuring a well-rounded and immersive educational journey.
