NUMC is a tertiary care Trauma 1 Level hospital with extensive specialty training including, Trauma, Burn, and Neurosurgery to name a few. We welcome you to learn more about Nassau University Medical Center by visiting their website at www.numc.edu. The majority of the OGME 2-4 years will be spent at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is the primary residency site for the training program in emergency medicine. Residents are also assigned to the emergency departments of Jersey City Medical Center and St. Barnabas Medical Center in order to provide a well balanced and more diversified experience. Residents rotate on the trauma service at Newark's University Hospital, New Jersey's busiest level 1 trauma center. The toxicology rotation takes place at the New York Poison Control Center in Manhattan. Intense and broad based clinical exposure with a socioeconomic and demographic variety is a major advantage of training in a variety of sites.
The program is a 36-month curriculum with a PGY 1-3 structure. Osteopathic residents start at the PGY-2 following the completion of a traditional rotating internship, while allopathic residents usually start at the PGY-1 level. The year is divided into 13 four-week blocks.
