We are an ACGME accredited Pediatric Residency program of 30 residents.  We seek candidates who have a growth mindset, demonstrate excellent communication skills, are enthusiastic about learning, teamwork, and serving our community of children and families in their daily work.

Our motivated residents pursue a variety of career choices after residency, such as general pediatrics in private practice or urgent care clinics; ambulatory, hospitalist or positions in academic centers; fellowship positions in competitive specialties around the country.

We value each individual’s contribution to our interdisciplinary team and consider physician well-being essential to your success. Our residents get to do all of this while living in the vibrant and dynamic city of New York, the Big Apple of America, with its world-renowned food, architecture, festivals, neighborhoods, museums, music, recreation, beaches, and more.
