Maimonides Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Maimonides is a busy, single-institution community-based anesthesiology program in Brooklyn built around high-acuity clinical exposure, with roughly half of cases involving ASA III-V patients and no CRNAs, SRNAs, or fellows competing for case volume. The program emphasizes progressive resident autonomy, a high faculty-to-resident ratio for close one-on-one teaching, and a cohesive, single-site training structure rather than a research-driven or subspecialty-heavy academic identity. Its stated goals center on producing clinically expert, well-rounded practitioners ready for independent practice, with structured board-exam preparation woven throughout the curriculum. Graduate placements span both community hospitals and major academic anesthesia departments, indicating the program supports diverse post-residency pathways rather than funneling toward a single track.
