Welcome

You have found the St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Internal Medicine Training Program Website.
The question is, what have you been looking for? Are you looking for a program that will show you every conceivable illness, at every conceivable stage of disease? Are you looking for a program that spends countless hours just thinking up ways to ensure that you can and do learn from each and every one of those patients?
Are you looking for a diverse patient population and a sophisticated and diverse group of colleagues and teachers that will use proven educational methods to allow you to fulfill your need to become expert clinicians, life-long learners, innovators and leaders? We don’t just throw you in a room with a patient or point you toward the library. At St. Luke’s-Roosevelt caring is learning is teaching is loving internal medicine.

What is the optimal strategy for learning from patients? Is it admitting bunches of patients every few days or is it admitting handfuls of patients every day? We looked at both and found that dripping the patients onto the services rather than shoving boluses into their beds increased both learning time and resting time.

Look what we’re seeing! In the past few weeks we’ve seen a posterior wall blowout complicating an acute myocardial infarct, a patient with TIAs and strokes due to antiphospholipid syndrome, Brugada’s syndrome and cryptogenic hemoptysis requiring bronchial artery embolization. Each of these were presented in morning report and the PowerPoint presentations are available to all of our residents

So let’s see if you need to come to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt:
How does an intra-aortic counterpulsating balloon pump both increase oxygen delivery to the myocardium AND relieve afterload to reduce oxygen consumption?
