I tried calling her several times, couldnt get through...Gloria I think it is. Anyway, was there a reason? Any chance it will resolve soon?

[ghaleon]

Yeah,

Just talked to the lady in Med-Ed there today too. She said the same thing to me, "No electives here for ROSS just cores."

Same poop, different day....

Has anyone done Ob/Gyn at this hospital recently? What are the hours like? How bad is the commute from Queens?

[RIRossStudent]

I called the graduate medical education office, and they told me that there is no ob/gyn core rotation available for Ross students. I do not think you can do ob/gyn at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital.

Incorrect. We do have OB-Gyn @ Bronx-Lebanon. Anyone have any idea how good that rotation is? What about Peds?

[mannydoc21]

I did OB and Peds both early in 2007 so I dont know if things have changed since then. I have to say they were both EXCELLENT rotations. First off, you are the only Ross student along with 5 or 6 Albert Einstein students. This small number allows for tons of hands-on and learning opportunities. Both have residency programs and the residents love to teach. There are lectures every day. You are treated like part of the team and given responsibilities as such. You have to spend a portion of the peds rotation in the ED. You have 100% autonomy while there and actually do the full write-up, physical, and plan. The attending then reviews your plan, discusses the case with you, and the patient is treated according to your plan.
Both rotations require full days (till 6pm most days) with a few short calls till 9pm in both and 1 or 2 overnight calls in OB. The hospital provides you with free meal tickets for lunch and breakfast. No parking for students but there is a parking lot a few blocks away that charges $8 per day or $128 for the month but you can only buy the pass on the 1st of the month. The area is pretty bad at night- significantly worse than the area surrounding wyckoff. I have to say that even as a male i had to watch over my shoulder when i had late call and needed to get to my car. The actual hospital is pretty nice and of small to medium size (maybe a little bit bigger than Wyckoff). Overall, I would strongly recommend this rotation to anyone. Very tough to actually get a spot in those two rotations so start trying now. Any more questions just PM me

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.

I'll be starting Family here in September. I'm not sure if anyone has info for housing where I don't have to commute hours as stated in one of the previous posts.

I will return to Queens after Family rotation.

Also, if you have any experience at this hospital (especially with FAMILY rotation), please do share. Thanks.
