Delivering pediatric primary care
Our residents have their continuity clinic experience at one of three sites. At the beginning of the intern year, each resident is assigned to a preceptor and a site where they will build their primary care practice for the duration of their residency.
Providing pediatric care from our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
While training in the nursery and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Jack D. Weiler Hospital, our Pediatric Residents work alongside skilled faculty, Neonatology Fellows and primary care pediatricians. Here, residents learn the full spectrum of care for our youngest patients, including healthy newborns and premature and critically ill infants.
An unmatched diversity of experience
As a premier academic medical center serving the Bronx, Westchester and the Hudson Valley, Montefiore Einstein offers its postgraduate trainees comprehensive exposure to a broad diversity of patients and pathologies. The diverse range of experience available prepares our postgraduate trainees for future careers in their chosen field, be it in the research or clinical and/or non-clinical setting.
Faculty and scientists at the forefront of research
Live and work close to the best of everything
The Bronx, New York City’s northernmost borough, is a culturally rich neighborhood placed at the intersection of Manhattan and its surrounding regions. Our postgraduate trainees typically live in hospital housing or off-site in nearby Riverdale, Lower Westchester or Manhattan, and have access to an unmatched diversity of experiences beyond the program itself.
In the Bronx, with its ample parks and gardens, you’ll learn first-hand why it’s known as “the City’s Greenest Borough.” The neighborhood offers plenty of local food, art, sports and culture, and is just a subway ride away from Manhattan’s famed theaters, museums and attractions.
As a resident of the Tri-State region, you’ll have unmatched access to the city’s cultural offerings, not to mention the bounty of outdoor excursions that are available just beyond. Day-trips and weekend excursions to the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Long Island or New Jersey provide ample opportunities for swimming, hiking, biking, skiing and other seasonal activities.
