Why our program could be right for you
As the only quaternary pediatric care center in the Bronx, the Pediatric Emergency Department at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Einstein cares for children presenting with a broad range of medical challenges, including those from all pediatric subspecialties. Under the mentorship of supportive faculty, our fellows have the opportunity to manage an extensive array of medical and surgical problems within an extremely diverse population.
Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein
Located on our Moses Campus, the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein is a premier academic children’s hospital nationally renowned for its clinical excellence, innovative research and commitment to training the next generation of pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists.
Training at CHAM has allowed me to learn from world-renowned faculty while providing compassionate, evidence-based care to all. The great diversity of patients and conditions we get to see, is one of the reasons why I love this program.

I was initially drawn to CHAM for the acuity and educational opportunities, but what keeps me here are the people. Whether it’s the team I work with making the toughest days easier, or the patient population- the people make it all worth it.
Lea Cohen, MD
Current PGY-4
The attendings and department leadership are motivated towards the growth and education of all the fellows. Having all the pediatric subspecialties at CHAM allows us to see rare pediatric pathologies which augments the learning atmosphere.

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.
