Stony Brook Medicine-University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Stony Brook's Med-Peds program is a university-affiliated combined program with roots since 1992, emphasizing continuity primary care through its own dedicated Med-Peds practice in Islip and a protected weekly Med-Peds conference that maintains identity across the combined training. Clinical experiences include a long-term care facility for young adults with developmental disabilities and an Adult CF Center, reflecting an emphasis on complex, chronic, transitional-care populations that bridge pediatric and adult medicine. The program explicitly trains toward primary care, hospitalist, subspecialist, intensivist, and medical education career paths rather than positioning itself as a research powerhouse. Small size (3 categorical positions per year) and program-director-led holistic review suggest a close-knit, mentorship-driven culture rather than a high-volume academic machine.
