Curriculum
The key to educating residents is making sure that learning sessions are interactive, the content is appropriate for what they need now, and they can focus on the session with minimal distraction. We achieve all three of these via the following:
Learning sessions are run as workshops and team-based activities. We guide you on what to learn on your own and, when we come together, we help you apply that knowledge in clinical situations.
Level appropriate curriculum that is mapped out across the year and the program, so you get what you need when you need it.
Attendings cover patient care during our Academic Half Day so house staff can focus on learning.
Large dedicated class rooms designed specifically for modern education delivery.
-
Wednesday afternoons for all residents
All medicine house staff attend unless they are on nights, post call, or on vacation.
Interns and senior residents have two distinct curricula allowing us to give each group what they need when they need it and assure redundancy is intentional.
Active learning through small group team-based and case-based activities are the primary modes of content delivery in academic half-day.
-
We hold our “morning report” in the afternoon so you can address patient care in the morning, the most high-yield patient care time in the hospital.
Interns – Monday and Thursday
Residents – Tuesday and Friday
-
30-45 minutes, four times a week prior to start of patient care while on ambulatory block.
Large, dedicated teaching space in the resident practice
-
Northwell system-wide on Friday mornings with world renowned speakers
Northern Westchester Hospital on Thursday mornings
Both are recorded so they can be watched at a time that is not in conflict with patient care.
