Curriculum
Our Internal Medicine Residency Program offers an outstanding opportunity to train in a dynamic, tertiary care referral center. Maimonides is the Brooklyn campus for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. This affiliation enriches the training of our residents and help to create an academic milieu superior to other community teaching hospitals. In addition, the exposure to a unique, highly diverse patient population, enables our residents to become expert internal medicine physicians, well-prepared to handle any and all patients upon graduation.
The structure of the program allows residents exposure to other medical specialties such as ophthalmology, gynecology, adolescent medicine, and psychiatry. Additionally, it enables the resident to work with an inter-disciplinary team including social services, case management, home care, and nutritional support staff. This experience provides the resident with an understanding of the full range of care and support services available to patients, preparing the resident for the complexities of health care delivery in today’s world. Maimonides also has a modern simulation lab, which is incorporated into many aspects of the education of our residents.
