NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a five-year ACGME-accredited orthopedic surgery residency at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, taking three residents per year within an academic medical center affiliated with the larger NYU Langone Health system. The program frames its mission around preparing residents to pass ABOS certifying exams and enter practice as "well-trained, highly competent orthopedic surgeons," with an explicit stated goal of preparing residents for both academic and clinical careers. Institutional infrastructure includes a dedicated Clinical Research Center with regulatory, laboratory, and pharmacy support and ties to NYU Langone's broader research enterprise (Perlmutter Cancer Center, CTSI), signaling that scholarly output is embedded in the institution's culture even though the orthopedic program page itself emphasizes clinical competency over a defined research pathway. The Long Island community hospital setting, combined with NYU's broader safety-net and community-service mission (WiSH clinic, Envision Scholars), suggests a program valuing well-rounded clinical training within an academically-oriented but regionally-grounded environment rather than a quaternary referral powerhouse.
