Supervised precepting of students and residents in a primary care setting is available. Fellows often co-teach with senior faculty. The NYU General Internal Medicine Fellowship Program aims to prepare general internists to be educational leaders and role models in community and university-based, urban settings. Fellows have multiple reinforcing opportunities to apply, articulate and practice teaching students and residents. The program is flexible, individualized and addresses each fellow's learning needs.
Fellows develop and regularly refine learning contracts in collaboration with mentors.
These contracts serve to define and track learning needs and goals. Components of the program are evaluated after every module and block and in an annual retreat using the goals and objectives developed for each.
