The Primary Care lnternal Medicine Residency Program was established in 1986 with the assistance of a Training Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Program emphasizes ambulatory care, continuous comprehensive patient care, and exposure to relevant areas related to general internal medicine practice. The curriculum includes training in neurology, psychiatry, non-operative orthopedics, otolaryngology, medical interviewing, phone medicine, etc.
Graduates are fully prepared to meet the challenges of a career in primary care internal medicine.
The three-year program currently has twelve resident positions at each level of training. The North Shore University Hospital 56-acre Manhasset campus is the main site for inpatient, elective and Emergency Room rotations. The continuity of care practice site is located in close proximity to the hospital in a new, modern office complex. The general medicine prac tice in this building is run by the Division of General Internal Medicine and encompasses 8,500 square feet of space. This practice site is described in greater detail elsewhere on this web site.
