Clinical Opportunities
Clinical Opportunities During the PhD Years
Even during the PhD phase, students stay clinically engaged. Through our partnership with Northwell Health, opportunities are flexible and tailored to individual interests, ensuring continuous development of clinical skills alongside research training.
Longitudinal Emergency Department
This opportunity allows students to spend 16 hours a month in the emergency department in various hospitals within the Northwell system. Students will have the chance to practice taking medical histories and physical examinations and will receive progressive responsibilities inclusive of direct patient care, documentation, and following through on other services. Students can also attend practical resident sessions, participate in simulations and learn more about the translational research taking place within the health system.
