That is our measure of success. Throughout their training, residents rotate through three hospitals. Queens Hospital Center is a 300-bed acute care municipal hospital located in Jamaica, New York, which serves a culturally and economically diverse population with a large spectrum of medical problems. Queens Hospital Center has taken the lead in developing a full spectrum of primary care and specialty services. At Queens Hospital Center, approximately half of the ward experience is spent on the Obstetrics Service and half on the Gynecology Service.
Residents also have a weekly continuity clinic.
Resident specialty rotations in Colposcopy, Endocrinology, Ultrasound, and Breast Disease are also done at Queens Hospital Center. Each year, PGY-III residents rotate to Parkway Hospital to expand their surgical experience in Gynecology. This hospital has a large number of gynecologic surgical cases, allowing residents to maximize their surgical experience. They also spend an additional month during their PGY-III year expanding their experience in Endocrinology and surgical management of infertility. The resident experience is also specifically geared towards preparing its graduates to be primary care providers in the new health care environment.
