Graduates of our Internal Medicine Residency program have a pass rate of over 90% for the internal medicine boards. Upon graduation, they have their choice of fellowships, primary care, and hospitalist positions. Many remain dedicated to serving the East Harlem community by continuing their careers in academic medicine as faculty of the program.
Approximately half of the graduates embark in primary care careers after training to include hospitalist practice and primary care practice. The other half continues for further sub-specialty fellowship training.
