Residents can then use a portion of their elective time to delve further into research activities. In addition to these activities, PGY2s hone their clinical judgment by spending up to 4 months managing critically ill patients in the Medical ICU, Cardiac Care Unit, Emergency Department, and performing Critical Care consultations for the sickest patients in the hospital.
Junior residents also learn to lead a team on the inpatient wards and develop their teaching skills. Other rotations that round out the second year of training include neurology, rheumatology at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and geriatrics.
The annual JAR retreat in the spring includes leadership training as well as workshops on applying to fellowship programs and post-residency jobs. The simulation curriculum is continued with mock code training and drop-in sessions in the Simulation Lab for ongoing practice of important bedside procedural skills and ultrasound techniques.
Our senior residents round out their training with additional rotations on the inpatient wards, critical care units, night float, and the emergency room.
Each PGY3 also spends time on our General Medicine Consult service learning about preoperative medicine and co-management of surgical patients. Additional time can be assigned to research to complete projects, prepare manuscripts, or submit abstracts to scientific meetings.
Selected PGY3s are asked to serve as Assistant Chief Residents, where they gain the opportunity to be a leader and teacher in the residency program, seeing an insider's view of medical education. The senior residents' outpatient experience includes rapid follow up urgent care sessions and a Board Review Course. The clinical training is augmented with a wide range of conferences including dedicated academic time.
These weekly minute sessions are interactive, case-based discussions where teams of residents work together using iPads and the medical literature to find best practice evidence for clinical care.

However, the most amazing educational aspect of our training program is the vast breadth and depth of patients that we get to see practicing medicine in Manhattan. Our mix of patients from all five boroughs of New York City allows residents to take care of patients from countries from all over the world, with different endemic diseases, different cultural beliefs and different approaches to health care.
There is no curriculum that could surpass the wealth of knowledge that our patients bring in their stories. We have a dedicated and productive faculty who are devoted to the success of our house staff, encouraging them not only in their clinical work, but also assisting them in and recruiting them to many different projects in scholarship and research - whether their interest is in translation research, quality improvement, education or bench science.
The mentorship and exposure to stellar research at our institution and our neighboring partners Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University provide our house staff with rich opportunity. Ultimately, we know that in order for residents to achieve their full potential as physicians, their work environment needs to support them in all aspects.
Additionally, residents are involved in the inpatient consultation service, where they gain exposure to dermatologic diseases unique to immunocompromised patients. Residents are also taught by dermatopathology attending physicians and fellows. The very large volume of dermatology outpatients and unique spectrum of diseases at MSKCC make this institution a very special part of our training program that expands the breadth and depth of our educational experience.
Residents rotating through our general dermatology outpatient service spend one half day per week at HSS focusing on dermatologic conditions that arise in patients with vascular collagen diseases.
