Long Island Jewish

Chairman & PD: David Dines
Location: Great Neck, NY
Spots: 3

Reputation: Very busy community based program with lots of HSS-trained attendings. Overshadowed by the major NY university hospitals.

Pros: Very busy services with all specialties covered. Residents operate a ton at three different hospitals. Chairman Dines well known as he is the President of the Shoulder society. Dedicated research facility and residents graduate with lots of publications and usually get the fellowship of their choice. LIJ is 45 min from Manhattan so there is lots to do, but it is expensive.

Cons: Call schedule is heavy, residents spread thin.

Final Word: A very solid program with strong attendings and residents who graduate with lots of cases under their belts. This program is not for the weary.
