New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital
History
This residency was launched in 1997 with a class of 6 residents. We have now expanded to 13 residents each year for our 3-year program. Our rotations and relationships with outside hospitals has expanded as well, with many opportunities to explore other emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and the NY poison control center.
A major part of the success of our training program is related to the socio-economic and ethnic diversity of our community, as well as the high acuity of the patient population that we serve. Our training program is designed to incorporate the unrivaled patient resources of our large urban community hospital with the expansive academic resources of a premier dual university-based healthcare system.
Our faculty is diverse in both background and expertise. We have recognized experts in public health, EMS, ultrasound, operations and administration, toxicology, and medical education. Each resident is paired with a faculty member who serves as a mentor, monitors the resident’s academic progress, compliance with program requirements, and helps ensure the resident’s well-being.
Our mission is to prepare graduates for all avenues of practice in emergency medicine, and to excel in education, research, wellness, and service. Our graduates span the spectrum of careers, from specialists practicing in university academic settings, to community hospitals physicians in urban and rural practice, to fellowship trained subspecialists and researchers.
