NYU Grossman School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

NYU Grossman's Anesthesiology, Perioperative Care & Pain Medicine residency is a large, university-based tertiary program (36 residents/year) spanning three distinct tracks—Manhattan (Tisch/Kimmel, Bellevue, VA NY Harbor, NYU Orthopedic Hospital), Brooklyn, and Long Island—giving trainees exposure to safety-net, VA, quaternary academic, and community-hospital anesthesia within a single ACGME accreditation. The program explicitly emphasizes "scholarship and independent thought" alongside clinical competence, with NIH-funded basic science labs, a departmental bibliography exceeding 500 papers and 8 textbooks, and a dedicated Rovenstine Scholarship offering up to six months of protected CA-3 research time plus an optional clinical scientist track for early, deeper research immersion. Distinctive structural features include single-attending continuity mentorship at the start of training, a single interview qualifying candidates for all three tracks plus two preliminary medicine programs (five NRMP codes), and the Bellevue "team captain" call role that confers early leadership responsibility over interdisciplinary care teams. Graduates disproportionately populate prestigious academic departments and chair positions, signaling a program oriented toward producing future academic leaders and subspecialists rather than solely community anesthesiologists.
