Meet our hospitalists
Our Division of Dermatology employs two dedicated hospitalists who manage and maintain our inpatient consult service, one of the highlights of our resident education. These faculty members work closely with each resident to create treatment plans together as a team. Our hospitalists also provide residents with one-on-one education opportunities surrounding the complex medical dermatology cases we see on a daily basis.
A challenging and innovative curriculum
Residents gain diverse perspectives on cutaneous disorders and treatments through their rotations within our program’s many hospitals and affiliated clinics. While training at Montefiore Einstein, residents spend time in a variety of settings, including adult and pediatric ambulatory clinics, surgical clinics, specialty clinics, cosmetic clinics and inpatient consult services, always under the supervision of our full-time faculty. Our didactic curriculum is structured around formal didactics on Monday and Thursday mornings, with lectures based on chapters in Jean L. Bolognia’s Dermatology and specialized lectures including dermatopharmacology, pediatric dermatology, basic science and dermatologic surgery.

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.
