Elmhurst Hospital Center

A large, busy municipal hospital with a varied patient population is an ideal setting for teaching and learning clinical medicine. The Elmhurst Hospital Center, located 20 minutes from midtown Manhattan, is a 613-bed tertiary-care hospital that serves a culturally diverse community of more than one million people. The Elmhurst Hospital Center is a major teaching affiliate of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. All teaching staff at Elmhurst hold faculty appointments at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Elmhurst Hospital Center is one of the 11 acute care hospitals that comprise New York City's municipal health care system. The hospital provides primary, secondary, and tertiary medical care for the one million residents of western Queens. There are approximately 400,000 patient visits each year to the hospital's clinics. The emergency service is a 911 receiving center for ambulances provided by the New York City Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and a Level I trauma center. It receives 45,000 pediatric visits annually. Approximately 2,000 patients are admitted to the pediatric inpatient services each year, and the overall occupancy rate exceeds 90 percent.

Englewood Hospital

Englewood Hospital is a voluntary medical center of 547 beds in Englewood, Bergen County, New Jersey. It provides primary, secondary, and tertiary care for a community of some 350,000 residents. Fifty practicing pediatricians provide for the primary and secondary care needs of the children in the community.

The pediatric service consists of 25 inpatient beds and a nursery that cares for approximately 2,000 deliveries a year. There is a 6-bed Level II special care nursery staffed by two full-time neonatologists.

The major goal of the rotation at Englewood is to create an awareness among the residents for the type of responsibilities a practicing pediatrician encounters in a community hospital environment. Like most community hospitals, the practicing pediatricians at Englewood are on-call to the nursery, emergency room, and clinics. These responsibilities are coordinated into their busy private practices. The residents interact with the pediatricians in all clinical settings.

Tutorials are coordinated by a full-time Director of Pediatrics.
