NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine Primary Care Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, community-based internal medicine program (10 residents/class, 30 total) at NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk, part of the NYU Langone health system, serving as the primary healthcare provider for a diverse, socioeconomically varied population across the South Shore of Eastern Long Island. Despite an explicit primary care focus and a "4+1" ambulatory-inpatient structure built around a 12,000-visit continuity practice, the program has a strong track record placing graduates into competitive subspecialty fellowships (cardiology, GI, hematology-oncology, nephrology, pulmonary/critical care) at academic centers nationally, reflecting a dual mission of primary care training and fellowship preparation. Scholarly activity is structurally embedded via required scholarly projects, protected research time during ambulatory weeks, an annual Research and Quality Improvement Fair, and access to NYU's IRB, Epic data, and health sciences library. The small class size fosters close faculty-resident relationships and a collegial, mentorship-driven culture, and the program values academically capable, compassionate residents who are team players.
