Residency Training Program
Welcome Incoming Residents! 2010 Intern Match List
In 1998, The New York Hospital and The Presbyterian Hospital merged to form the NewYork- Presbyterian Hospital creating one of the largest and most comprehensive health care facilities in the world. This is the first, full-asset merger of two world-class academic hospitals. Parallel graduate training programs exist at each hospital campus and are maintained separately. Our affiliation is with Weill Cornell Medical College. Residents-in-training at NewYork-Presyterian Hospital/ Weill Cornell Medical College also benefit from our affiliations with the three other premier institutions that are immediately adjacent to the Hospital, creating one of the world's great academic medical campuses: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and The Rockefeller University Hospital. By interacting with these other prestigious institutions, residency training is augmented in valuable ways: clinical rotations, opportunities for research projects, mentorship by renowned investigators, and exposure to faculty who are experts in their field.
The objective of the Graduate Training Program in Internal Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell is to foster clinical and academic excellence in new physicians. Graduates of the program are highly sought after for a variety of careers: clinical educators, physician-scientists, academic-clinicians and leadership roles in medical administration.
The residency training program places balanced emphasis on both inpatient and ambulatory settings. Medical House Staff rotate through the medical and neurological services at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, the preeminent rheumatology service at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and other medical services at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. These sites offer a diverse patient population and outstanding faculty. Patients at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell come from all economic, social and ethnic backgrounds. In addition to its role as a major tertiary care center, NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell serves as a primary care center for the diverse patient population of Upper Manhattan and Western Queens. Patients also come from the rest of the greater metropolitan area: New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, as well as from around the world.
The medical problems seen at the medical center encompass all areas of internal medicine. While common diseases predominate during the course of an Intern's experience, a wide range of rare and unusual clinical problems are encountered. This program offers the opportunity to care for such patients in the setting of a major research department with strengths in each medical subspecialty, as well as in general medicine. All inpatient rotations are on academic teaching services. Independent, clinical decision-making by House Staff is emphasized on all rotations.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center is located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built on a platform above the FDR Drive overlooking the East River. It is flanked by our sister institutions - Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University Hospital in our backyard. Our hospital has over 800 beds with approximately 30 medical ICU beds. It is a beautiful building equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a vast array of on-line resources.
