Program highlights
- Stress interest in supervision: the program states residents are one-on-one with an attending early and no attending supervises more than two residents.
- Highlight fit with the case mix: cardiac surgery (the hospital cites a No. 1 cardiac surgery ranking), neuro intervention, EP, GI and IR/NORA anesthesia.
- Use the CA-3 flexibility: required research block, advanced clinical track and 24 weeks of electives; come with a proposed project or elective plan.
- Align with the stated aims: ABA first-attempt pass, retaining 50% of graduates as Northwell attendings, first-choice fellowships, and national/local presentation of scholarship.
- Ask about growth as a founding-era program: the first classes are still progressing and the pediatric rotation is at Cohen Children's Medical Center.
- Ask how weekly didactics (journal club, M&M, QA, Keywords/board review, simulation) are protected from clinical work.
