Special Features
Our program is located in North Brooklyn. We serve a diverse patient population, and our residents have the opportunity during training to develop and enhance their skills in cultural competency. The focus of our community-based program is primary care, and our graduates are trained to provide care in areas with limited resources. About 50% of our residents go for fellowship training and match in highly competitive programs. Residents rotate at our affiliate institutions for experiences in tertiary institutions and also get the opportunity to rotate in other institutions as part of their individualized curriculum and/or to supplement their training. Program leadership and faculty get to know residents well because of our small size.
