Metropolitan/Harlem EM

Our mission is to furnish residents with a diverse training environment comprised of high acuity trauma patients and the underserved of Harlem; and to graduate exceptional, benevolent physicians.

About
Our Program

MetHarlem Emergency Medicine 3-Year Residency Program, now able to educate 36 residents, is proud to graduate accomplished, well-rounded doctors who are not only skilled in high acuity trauma but are enlightened to their integral role in upholding the health and safety of the communities they serve. With our long standing NYMC affiliation, we are proud to have a strong history of pushing the boundaries of diversity and gender equality.

We offer a rigorous and conscientious resident curriculum focused on the mastery and innovation of several emergency medicine elements in which our department accells including research, ultrasound, simulations, and pediatrics. With our team of nationally recognized faculty, each resident is both mentored and coached 1:1 through their time with us to help mold you into the strongest physicians possible and help push you beyond even your highest reaching goals. 

 

By living and working in the most diverse and energetic city in the country, our residents are enriched by New York City's diverse educational environment. Our program offers rotations in several hospitals including Metropolitan Hospital, Harlem Hospital, and Westchester Medical Center. Having the advantage of learning in a variety of settings combined with our faculty and staff from vastly different cultural and training backgrounds, our residents are equipped to thrive in any situation and in turn harbor a deep sense of camaraderie with co-workers and the community.

 

Joining MetHarlem is to not only choose a competitive and passionate residency program, but to go above and beyond in the EM field by championing the underserved in the greatest city in the world. If you are seeking a dynamic Emergency Medicine program that values making you feel like you belong, and that will push you beyond your greatest potential, look no further.
