Brooklyn Hospital Center Program

The Brooklyn Hospital Center Pediatrics Residency Program, located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, offers a diverse patient population and a variety of illnesses for training. The program has a strong faculty and provides comprehensive education in pediatrics to fulfill ACGME requirements while tailoring the training to residents' future needs. They aim to train pediatricians to care for diverse populations, from general pediatrics to sub-specialty diagnoses, and emphasize evidence-based care and lifelong learning.

Residents benefit from a low faculty to resident ratio and onsite training, fostering early relationships with attending physicians and nursing staff. The program provides a rich academic environment with daily teachings and opportunities to be involved in the curriculum committee. There is a focus on individualized learning plans and career goals, supported by a curriculum meeting ACGME and board certification requirements.

The program offers a fully accredited 3-year Pediatric Residency with 11 positions per year. Residents have access to a range of clinical facilities, including a 12-bed inpatient unit, a PICU, a Level 3 NICU, and a WBN. There are scholarly activities, research opportunities, and a supportive environment for residents to develop as pediatricians.

For application requirements, the program prefers candidates who have graduated medical school within the last three years. They require a Pass score for USMLE Step 1 and a score above 210 for USMLE Step 2 CK, or COMLEX scores above 550. Additionally, a minimum of three letters of recommendation is necessary. The program participates in the NRMP Match and does not offer positions outside of the match process. The application deadline is December 1.
