PHILOSOPHY New York Medical College (Richmond) Pediatric Residency is an ACGME fully accredited and approved three year training program designed to train physicians who are interested in pediatrics or entering any of the variety of pediatric subspecialty fellowships. The primary site for the pediatric training program is Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island New York. The goal of the training is to prepare our residents to be physicians for children from all walks of life, and/or to enter training in one of the pediatric subspecialties. We want our graduates to be skilled at clinical assessment, evaluation, and therapeutics, and to function and communicate empathetically. All requirements of the Residency Review Committee for training in Pediatrics are fulfilled, and all graduates are eligible to sit the American Board of Pediatrics certifying examination. During the three years of training, Richmond University Medical Center’s pediatric residents have the opportunity to learn all aspects of medical care delivery necessary to function well as a pediatrician. Throughout the three years of residency, residents learn pediatric care by participating as physicians to patients in the continuity clinic located at the RUMC site. At the beginning of every continuity clinic session, a pediatric topic is reviewed and presented to the residents who are participating in that clinic session that day. In addition, residents do several block rotations in which they learn those aspects of pediatric specialties, such as neurology, cardiology, nephrology, developmental, hematology/oncology, emergency medicine, among others, to obtain a well rounded experience so critical to the pediatric experience. All residents attend the daily morning report. In addition there are conferences that emphasize and teach how to improve interview skills and how to deal with emotionally-difficult aspects of patient care; sessions that teach cultural competency, and a monthly death and dying conference held in conjunction with the risk management, nursing, pastoral care, patient relations, and social work. Full-time pediatric faculty supervise the residents on the wards. Each clinic session has regular pediatric faculty supervisors Welcome / Program / Philosophy / Apply / Benefits & Salaries / Contact / Location |
