Post-Residency Careers
In general, approximately 1/3 of our residents pursue hospitalist or primary care careers while 2/3 go on to a variety of subspecialty training programs. For both of these groups many remain active in academia.
We are proud of our alumni who have graduated from Downstate and know that they will always place an importance on patient centric care in their respective careers. They carry with them the values instilled in them during their time at our residency program. We will always cherish their contributions to our program.
