The Department of Medicine at Overlook Hospital is renowned for providing outstanding health care to the surrounding communities and for providing excellent educational experiences for its trainees.

Overlook Hospital is a unique institution in the New York metropolitan area. For over a century, our expert professional staff has delivered state-of-the-art tertiary care in a friendly, patient-centered environment.  Our internal medicine residency program is small enough for each individual resident to feel recognized and respected, yet broad enough to provide virtually any clinical or educational resource to patients, trainees and staff.

The educational style of the Department of Medicine mirrors the atmosphere and mission of the hospital. Our faculty members are committed to mentoring each resident to ensure that supportive, personalized supervision supplements a meticulously organized curriculum and rotational schedule. Our program leaders, who have more than 30 years’ of experience in residency program management, set high expectations for staff performance and for resident accomplishment with clearly articulated educational goals. Residents can expect clinical teaching experiences that will be professionally gratifying and even inspiring, as they prepare for careers and fellowships 

The majority of accredited internal medicine residency programs graduate residents who are clinically competent and are able to pass the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam. Well-qualified applicants searching for residency programs have a wide array of excellent options in the New York metropolitan area.  The best approach to selecting a program is to choose the one which aligns with the resident’s personal learning style.  For applicants who learn best in a supportive, personalized educational environment that emphasizes quality, camaraderie and professionalism, Overlook Hospital’s Internal Medicine Residency Program is ideal.
