This rotation is also ACGME accredited through New York Medical College (Brooklyn-Queens) Program [2203521183]. It may have been DO back when you did it, since it looks like it happened through the merger with Caritas.

Regardless, the best way to look if a program is accredited is to simply look on ACGME Accredited Program and Institutional Listing - Public Access . Don't rely on anyone's word.

thanks so much! I was trying to find it through the ACGME website and I couldn't find it. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

as far as acgme site goes it only shows FM and IM as MD programs, i guess all others are DO. i didnt delve deeper to see if there are "affiliations" that didnt pop up when i selected by sponser->wyckoff

That is incorrect. To look at just the sponsoring institution to determine which programs are ACGME accredited will cause you to miss the actual hospitals for many university programs. In this case, Wycoff OB/GYN is not an "affiliate" but is a major participating institution for New York Medical College.

If you try your search again, look at the sponsors that pop up, then click on New York Medical College (notice how many programs you missed) and then click on OB/GYN Brooklyn-Queens program.

how is surgery at wycoff?

IM will be my last core rotation. I am considering doing it at wycoff which wont start until september. My problem is doing residency interviews during the same time period. I am wondering if anyone has advice to whether or not it is wise to do IM at wycoff. I am looking at a program that isnt too demanding that way if I have to miss days for interviews...it wont be a big problem...

What the hell? How are you doing IM this late in the game? I assume you aren't matching into IM so it doesn't bother you - but this is ridiculous

Does anyone know if Wykcoff accepts students waitlisted for surgery? I want to start Sept 29 bc it fits my schedule perfectly. Apparently bc its considered and "off-cycle" or added rotation, there's no guarantee that it could actual be taken on by Wykcoff according to who I spoke with. I was advised to take Aug 18 start date which has spots, but now I would have to drop a an elective I really wanted. Any experience with students who added on the first day or were denied?
