Graduate Medical Education
Garnet Health Medical Center is continually transforming from what was a small community hospital, to a formidable teaching hospital. These residency programs were born out of the desire to improve regional health indicators, help local economies and provide educational opportunities that were not originally available in the Hudson Valley. We are proud to have produced several residency programs that have obtained both AOA Accreditation and ACGME Accreditation.
Our core and non-core faculty have been trained at world-class teaching centers and are dedicated to cultivating an academic environment for each rotation. We have extensive didactic programs, including daily lectures, Grand Rounds, Journal Club, and SIM curriculums. Over 160 preceptors selflessly give their time, energy and passion to training resident physicians throughout their time at Garnet Health Medical Center.
Research
The collective will of our Medical Education Department is to become a nationally recognized academic medical center. Research and Scholarly Activity are areas being continually placed in the forefront of all programs for residents and medical students.
Our residents and rotating medical students have presented at regional and national conferences, authored publications, journal reviews, and books. We believe in collaborative research, pairing an attending physician with a resident and a group of medical students.
