North Shore University Hospital is a high acuity (admission rate of 40%), high patient volume (>90,000 pts/yr) quaternary care academic center, adult level 1 trauma center, stroke center, and Heart Hospital.

 

Long Island Jewish Medical Center is also a high acuity (admission rate 33%), high patient volume (>100,000 patient visits annually) tertiary care academic center, adult level II trauma center, PCI center, stroke center, with its own behavioral health unit and affiliated pediatric hospital. It is a safety net hospital and has the most diversity in patient population in the country.

 

 

Residents work in the pediatric emergency department at North Shore University Hospital in addition to dedicated pediatric training months at Cohen’s Children’s Emergency Department, a level I pediatric trauma center which that sees 32,000 pediatric patients annually in the emergency department.

 

Each of our hospitals serves patients with vastly different socioeconomic characteristics, offering residents the advantage of treating a wide range of patient demographics, both urban and suburban patient populations, and a rich spectrum of pathology. Our emergency medicine residency program emphasizes trauma and critical care management, pediatric exposure, and advanced training in all the subspecialties of emergency medicine. We offer significant trauma training throughout residency at our home level I and II trauma institutions, with an additional trauma month at the free-standing trauma hospital in Baltimore, Maryland at Shock Trauma Center. Residents obtain critical care experience in the Medical ICU, Surgical ICU, Critical Care Unit, Neurosurgical ICU, and Pediatric ICUs.

Because you should feel comfortable working in any emergency setting, you will also experience community medicine at Huntington Hospital, Forest Hills Hospital and a free-standing ED at Lenox Hill Greenwich Village.

We are committed to training residents to become outstanding clinicians and the future leaders in academic and community emergency medicine. Our curriculum includes rotations with fellowship trained physicians: ultrasound, toxicology, PEM, EMS, sports medicine. Additional electives are offered in international medicine, simulation, research, administration, telemedicine, radiology, dental, ENT, plastics, wilderness, and community medicine*. Finally, the program offers residents the opportunity to participate in specialty specific training, which include mentorship, research experience, and a multitude of extra activities develop and explore their specific interests, advance their career or prepare them for fellowship.
