Resident Stories

“The people in this residency program feel more like family each day.”  – Shaughn Head
"Maimonides has taught me the value of hard work and determination. I have faced clinical and personal hardships and overcome them with the support of faculty and staff. Maimonides has developed my resiliency and I am grateful to the mentors who have helped me become the physician I always wanted to be."
Joseph Ottolenghi - OB/GYN Resident
When I started at Maimo, I quickly began to realize just how special of a place this was. Attendings are great at teaching, and I found myself graduating from plain films to cross-sectional imaging faster than my friends at nearby programs. The diversity of pathology makes every day interesting. Another bonus, we have a pretty social group of residents, so expect to have plenty of after-work activities.
Simon Chivi - Radiology Residenct
This program fosters a sense of family where help is always available, no matter the hour, through supervision from attendings and senior residents. We have protected didactic time where we learn the fundamentals of psychiatric patient care, and similarly are vital in contributing to the education of medical students. Maimonides offers diversity in pathology and patient population, and PGY1s play an integral role in shaping mental health treatment in Brooklyn.
Liad Maslaton - Psychiatry Resident
When I think about Maimonides I think about my academic home. I started at Maimonides as a medical student rotating through the NICU and Pediatric unit and I'm currently in the last year of my training as a Pediatric Endocrinology fellow. The growth that I have experienced would not be possible were it not for the nurturing faculty and diverse patient population that we serve. A truly unforgettable place.
