Hi

it's me. nice. i'm going to wyckoff on oct. 16th for peds. apparently the place is good. their homepage is

Home

anyhow, if anyone else is going, maybe we can get together or something. and by get together i mean...go for coffee.


i'm going to be part of the first set of students Saba is giving to this hospital, we just got this one. so hopefully i'll bust my and i'll leave a good impression on the staff there, so we all can go there if we want. from my understanding brookdale is booked and we need more hospitals in NY, so this is good.


let's hope the staff doesn't get sick of my "niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice".

i got a place 3 blocks from the hospital, if anyone needs a place, gimme a shout at mispahany@hotmail.com.

nice

ill be wyckoff soon too. i was wondering though, do u know if surgery and peds at wyckoff are ACMGE accredited?
thx

Wyckoff is ACGME accredited for family medicine only. Thus, you will need to check with the state you want to practice in to see if they accept the "family medicine umbrella". Family medicine umbrella means that the core rotations are automatically green book if the hospital is ACGME accredited for family medicine.

just a correction..wyckoff if acgme for IM, FM, Surg, Peds and most recently, OB/GYN...they have their own IM and FM programs...surg is affiliated with st. john's queens as is OB...peds is thru brookdale or brooklyn i believe...yes the acgme website might not be updated but they just got their new ob and surg affiliations when they bought mary immaculate and st. john's last month...i also think they're working on a psych rotation...

i'm not a saba student but i go to mua and started IM here in june...now in surg and peds next...

The Surgery rotation was ACGME under Bronx Lebanon but the affiliation ended. J.R will tell you things but if the Surgery rotation is ACGME why does the ACGME site not show it even though it was updated October 26, 2006 and even more important why doesn't the Wyckoff website show it even though it does show Ob/gyn as being ACGME.

Does anyone know anything about IM @ Wyckoff? As for the ACGME approval, both Freida and ACGME site show that Peds and OB GYN @ Wyckoff are not approved by ACGME...anyone know anything?

hey.
i was at wyckoff doing peds and obgyn. i heard that IM at wyckoff totally sucks big time. i heard that you don't even write SOAP notes there. this is stuff that i heard from my friends from Ross while i was at wyckoff for 3 months. i haven't directly been involved in that department, but from what my friends told me, which is just heresay, i would definitely NOT do IM there if it was me.
hope that helped.
