The Residency Programs at Harlem Hospital Center have many strengths. Perhaps our most important strengths are the commitment of the faculty to graduate medical education, the collegiality and camaraderie between the faculty and residents, the opportunities to do research in a public health setting, and of course, the world-class attractions of New York City. Harlem Hospital Center has a successful tradition of training dentists, physicians, and surgeons. Our programs have remained competitive, meeting both the needs of our patients and the educational requirements of our Residents. The long line of scholars with whom we have shared the art and science of healing have well-respected practices across this country and throughout the world.

Internal Medicine Residency Program

The SBH internal medicine residency program is fully ACGME-accredited and has a long history of training extremely skilled internal medicine physicians. We are fully committed to maintaining this high level of excellence in training for future generations of primary care internists, hospitalists and subspecialists.

Our large training program offers exposure to a culturally and medically diverse patient population. Situated on a large campus in the middle of a vibrant urban community, SBH offers medical residents broad exposure to a range of illnesses and pathologies in diverse clinical settings: an active inpatient medical service run by full-time hospitalists; a large Medical ICU staffed by full-time intensivists; the complete range of medical subspecialty inpatient and outpatient consultative services; and a robust and growing comprehensive and integrated primary care service across multiple practice sites with numerous specialized programs including, but not limited to, geriatrics, HIV/AIDS, congestive heart failure, asthma and diabetes.

SBH Health System is the primary teaching hospital of the new Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education/CUNY School of Medicine, located on a beautiful campus in West Harlem. Our faculty will be deeply engaged in the education of these students—from their pre-clinical course work, through their clinical rotations, and until graduation. We are also a clinical affiliate of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM). The AECOM students do clinical clerkships at our institution and we have developed robust and engaging programs to support their education.
