The South Shore University Hospital Emergency Medicine Residency Program is a 3-year fully accredited program mission-driven to developing exceptional emergency physicians. Located in the heart of Long Island’s south shore communities, we offer our residents the unique ability to train at one of the state’s largest health system’s busiest trauma and tertiary-care facilities with a select group of like-minded peers. Our intimate program size offers trainees one-on-one teaching from a team of passionate faculty in a department dedicated to exceptional clinical care and committed to addressing health disparities.  

 

A class size of 6 residents per year means training at South Shore University Hospital affords residents the opportunity to learn in an environment where they receive personal attention while still having access to all the world-class resources Northwell and South Shore University Hospital have to offer.  

 

In addition to standard training amenities, our residents have unfettered access to Northwell’s robust simulation centers, including the Center for Learning and Innovation and the cadaver lab at the Bio-Skills Center. The residents train in a department that sees more than 84,000 patients per year (13.1% pediatric) and is an American College of Surgeons verified Adult Level One Trauma Center, STEMI center, and comprehensive stroke center utilizing endovascular techniques. We serve as the tertiary receiving facility for Northwell’s eastern region. All together this provides our residents with the opportunity to train with a diverse, complex, and high-acuity patient population. Guided by faculty members with fellowship training and expertise in fields including critical care, ultrasound, clinical research, EMS and disaster medicine, wilderness medicine and more, our trainees leave our program clinically superb, prepared for independent practice, and ready for any fellowship they may wish to pursue. 

 

South Shore University Hospital is a hidden gem for emergency medicine residents seeking an urban and fast-paced training experience while enjoying the benefits of a suburban lifestyle beyond the bedside. Only one-hour from New York City and all its appeal, we are nestled in a lively beachside town that serves a patient population that is 48% under or uninsured. As the leading providers for much of our community, residents are exposed to a broad spectrum of pathology and disease management. With a deep understanding of our patients' needs, residents are taught the clinical practice of medicine and the social impacts of providing equitable care in our community.
