Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra-Northwell at Staten Island University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a two-site, university-affiliated program (Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell) anchored by a Level I trauma, STEMI, burn, and stroke center at SIUH North, paired with a distinct fast-paced community ED at SIUH South, giving residents structured exposure to both tertiary/quaternary critical care and resource-limited community practice with transfer decision-making. The program emphasizes procedural and resuscitation training (dedicated ultrasound weeks, cadaver labs, biannual simulation days, recent EMRA SimWars national title) and operates its own EMS service with residents providing online medical control. Research is structurally embedded (two dedicated resident research blocks, in-house statistician, expectation of state/national presentation) but framed as scholarly development rather than a pipeline to physician-scientist careers; fellowship tracks offered in-house are Administration, Medical Education, and Ultrasound. The program values residents who engage with community outreach and social determinants of health, and it explicitly supports diversity-oriented pathways into the specialty via a structured visiting-student scholarship.
