I am finishing up my family medicine rotation at Bronx Lebanon and thought I would share. For someone coming from Wyckoff's internal med, this rotation was a breath of fresh air and learning. There are only twenty students in the rotation divided into three groups, and those groups are further broken down so essentially you are with 2 to 3 other students. This makes learning and interaction with the residents much better. You will do 2 weeks of inpatient (7am to 7pm) which is essentially like internal medicine. You will also do 2 weeks in the clinic setting and 2 weeks of night call (7p to 7a). I have to say I learned the most during my inpatient weeks. I was with an attending who liked to teach and would pimp you randomly. They used to let students write most of the progressive notes and admission paperwork. However, the Joint Commission is expected soon so now we students can only do the admitting H/P. Most of the residents will let you do as much or as little as you want. Everything from blood draws (which become monotonous) to gyn exams, wound care, and other stuff. Nothing too dramatic. With the exception of a few attendings (2 really), most of the attendings were willing to answer any questions and were genuinely interested in what you had to say. I really enjoyed all of the residents I interacted with. Like everywhere else, there are a few who are outspoken and tend to be too negative. However, I am a big fan of several of the residents. Two are actually Ross grads. Anyways....

As far as other rotations at Bronx Lebanon, there are several Ross students here doing cores from surgery to OB to peds to everything. Gladys is the director and it is better to meet with her in person. There is typically only one spot in each rotation for a Ross student since Albert Einstein students rotate here as well. For instance, OB is currently booked through September. However, if you are willing to plan ahead and are interested in this hospital, working with Gladys to plan your rotations is possible.

I hope this helps.
