    Program Description

    The Family Medicine Program offers a three-year educational experience that is designed to produce family physicians that are not only competent but also dedicated to patient care. The Residency Program has been in operation since 1993 under the American Board Academy of Family Medicine standards and the accreditation of the ACGME. The program is approved for 21 positions--7 in each year of training. The Hospital Center is located in The Forte Green Section of Downtown Brooklyn, just a few blocks from the famous Brooklyn Bridge, and serves a culturally and economically diverse community. The neighborhoods surrounding the Hospital Center have been defined by New York State as "health care manpower shortage areas," indicating that there are many families in need of comprehensive quality care. Due to the diversity of the groups served, the resident is exposed to a broad spectrum of medical problems. This is conducive to the development of a holistic, comprehensive approach to medicine, which is the hallmark of the family physician.
