Program highlights
- Two distinct tracks: categorical runs a 4+2 schedule, primary care a 4+4 schedule with the ACLM Lifestyle Medicine curriculum (ABIM plus ABLM eligibility). Name the track you are choosing and why it fits your career goal.
- Very high-acuity, high-need population: a 310-bed hospital with about 90,000 ED visits and over 400,000 outpatient visits a year at the intersection of three Health Professional Shortage Areas. Connect your experience to underserved care.
- Night float with on-site attending hospitalists around the clock replaces traditional 24-hour call. Ask how this works for interns, and about the 12-bed ICU and 9-bed step-down unit.
- Protected education: Monday to Thursday morning report, Friday Grand Rounds, a weekly three-hour academic half-day, plus ultrasound (POCUS) and simulation sessions. Mention how you learn from case-based and team-based formats.
- Fellowship pathway is real (about half of residents), with the CCU rotation at Bellevue in PGY-3 and an NYU affiliation. Also know the program says it accepts applications only via ERAS, does not host observerships, and sends programme signals the most weight.
