With best wishes for your success in our field, Thomas G.

Thank you for your interest in the Residency Program in Internal Medicine at the Donald & Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Our 130 residents are the Department’s heart and soul, along with our dedicated full-time faculty of more than 300, all collaborating to develop the next generation of healers, thinkers, leaders, and educators. Northwell’s program is among the largest in the nation, graduating about 60 trainees a year and matching another 60, the second largest Match in New York State. Both of the main training sites are set in a beautiful suburban community just 30 minutes from Manhattan, serving a unique patient population drawn from a service area of almost 8 Karen A. Friedman MD MS FACP million people across Long Island, New York City, and beyond. The size and diversity of Residency Program Director this patient population not only attract patients with the most challenging conditions but Vice Chair for Education Associate also draw the most talented trainees and educators. Professor of Medicine Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Northwell’s residents are surrounded by opportunity and support, with the strong Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell presence of the Donald & Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell sparking new ideas and perspectives on teaching and learning medicine. Opportunities for research are plentiful, with many faculty welcoming and supporting trainees at the world-class Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research right on campus. The residency program is deeply committed to evidence-based strategies for physician education, whether classic or cutting-edge. Most didactics are case-based and set in small groups. Team-based learning is the norm in the ambulatory setting. We have also embraced the track, which allows residents to customize their learning. Our tracks include research, the clinician-educator, global health, healthcare reform and advocacy, a community health track, and IMPACcT (IMproving Patient Access, Care, & cost through Training), an interprofessional primary care training program. Our program consistently and creatively prioritizes resident well-being and work-life balance, starting with its innovative Continuity Model of house staff education. In a variation on “protected time”, each four-week block of inpatient duty is followed by a week dedicated to ambulatory education -- which starts with a weekend off. Residents are thus guaranteed a predictable schedule over time and the comfort of sleeping in their own beds for at least one out of five weeks. This strategy eliminates pressure on residents to virtually be in two places at once; resident life assumes a consistent rhythm and “sleep debit” is minimized. The system enhances not only resident well-being but also clinical care, as it reduces the fragmentation and waste that accompany the traditional system with its constant interruptions. It’s impossible to capture the Northwell experience in this limited space. The quality of the teaching, the beautiful setting, the warmth of bright, supportive peers, the commitment of staff and administration, including the support that frees up our trainees to focus their time and energy on learning…these don’t come through in the facts and figures but they’re major factors in our success. That’s why we hope that you’ll be in touch with us – to ask questions, request an interview, or get help with the application process.
