We are affiliated with major voluntary and public hospitals located in three boroughs of New York City and in Long Island, serving the health care needs of a large population of wide socioeconomic and ethnic diversity. These institutions provide extraordinary opportunities to learn diagnostic and treatment practices in virtually all medical and surgical specialties while also providing students with a firm grounding in generalist medicine. Our clinical sites provide opportunities to acquire experiences and deep understanding of problems and issues in social medicine that are unmatched anywhere.
