Flushing Hospital Medical Center Program

The Flushing Hospital Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Program aims to prepare residents for independent clinical practice or further fellowship training in a multicultural and diverse environment. The program emphasizes high standards of ethics, professionalism, and clinical excellence. The institution is fully accredited by the ACGME and does not sponsor visas. Graduates from U.S. allopathic and osteopathic medical schools, as well as international graduates, are welcome to apply.

Application requirements include a preferred graduation within the last five years, preference for first-attempt scores of USMLE Step 1 & 2 ≥ 225, and COMLEX Levels 1 & 2 ≥ 500, with applicants having the option to submit a supplemental application.

The program offers PGY1, PGY2, and PGY3 training years with rotations in various specialties, including general medicine, MICU, CCU, and ambulatory care. There is a night duty system designed to provide residents with a structured learning experience. Residents are supervised by faculty and attendings, with opportunities for scholarly activities and clinical development.

For international graduates, while United States clinical experience is preferred, it is not a requirement for admission. The program does not require ECFMG certification for the application process, but applicants must obtain it before entering the program. The residency has a diverse patient population, offering a rich learning experience for residents.
