About this program
South Brooklyn Health (formerly Coney Island Hospital), part of NYC Health + Hospitals, runs a 4-week Emergency Medicine elective for fourth-year medical students through its EM residency program. The clerkship is hosted by the South Brooklyn Health Emergency Medicine Residency.
RESTRICTED ELIGIBILITY (verbatim from page): 'at this time our institution is only accepting students from affiliated medical schools for elective rotations. This includes NYIT-COM, Touro-COM New York, St. George's University, and SUNY Downstate.'
This means the rotation is NOT open to general US MD/DO applicants, NOT open to international medical school students, and NOT open via VSLO from non-affiliated schools.
Affiliated-school M4s should apply directly through their own medical school's clerkship office, which has the established affiliation agreement with South Brooklyn Health EM.
Contact: Gregory Pearlman, Residency Program Coordinator ([email protected]). EM Clerkship Coordinators ([email protected]).
South Brooklyn Health also participates in the NYC H+H MOSAIC program for related opportunities.
