Residency Clinical Sites

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine Otorhinolaryngology program has four affiliated campuses where residents train: Montefiore Einstein West (Moses and Wakefield campuses), Montefiore Einstein East (Weiler Hospital and Hutch Metro Center), Jacobi Medical Center (JMC), and the Long Island Campus (Northwell Health). Each participating site has a qualified otolaryngologist designated by the chair, who serves as site director.

Montefiore Einstein

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) Chairman, Vice-Chair, and Program Director have their offices on the third floor of the Greene Medical Arts Pavillion (MAP3), which is an outpatient facility and the academic headquarters of both MMC and wider Einstein residency program.

MMC is a large quaternary-care medical center located in the Bronx, NY. At this clinical site, our faculty and residents provide care to an extremely diverse patient population. All specialties within the field of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery are practiced at this clinical site.

We have geographically divided MMC into East and West regions. Montefiore East and Montefiore West comprise separate rotations for residents.

Montefiore Einstein West

The Montefiore West rotation provides resident coverage for the MMC Moses Campus. The 726-bed Moses Campus is located in the Norwood section of the Bronx, and includes the 106-bed Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) as well as the MAP building. CHAM is a state-of-the-art tertiary care center where all inpatient and outpatient pediatric otolaryngology disorders are seen and treated. US News & World Report has consistently ranked CHAM as one of our nation’s best children’s hospitals. The Moses campus occupies many blocks in the West Bronx, where it is the region’s largest employer, and includes a 25-bed operating room, large medical and surgical intensive care units, and one of the five busiest emergency rooms in the United States.

The Montefiore Wakefield Division (MWF) is another satellite site of the Montefiore Medical Center, and it plays a minor part in the West rotation. It is a 360-bed primary care facility in a socially and economically challenged Bronx neighborhood. Residents do consult rounds here at MWF and an attending physician sees and reviews all consults with the resident, adjusting as necessary, usually after the resident has made a preliminary assessment. Simple surgical cases are performed in the Wakefield OR, whereas more complex cases are transferred to Moses.

Montefiore Einstein East

Montefiore East consists of Weiler Hospital and the Montefiore Hutchinson Campus. “The Hutch” is a new state-of-the-art building that opened in 2014, designed for efficiency and technological innovation. The 11-floor, 280,000-square-foot facility is a patient-focused, highly streamlined ambulatory care center that maximizes efficiency.

Built adjacent to major highway intersections in the East Bronx, the Montefiore Hutchinson Campus is designed for easy patient access and multi-specialty collaboration. The Otolaryngology service shares the 10th floor with Ophthalmology. A large number of ambulatory surgeries for adult patients are performed in the 12 operating rooms at this site. Residents on the Montefiore East rotation focus their clinical efforts mainly on Rhinology, Facial Plastic Surgery, Laryngology and Otology. However, clinical experience in the other sub specialties are available as well during this rotation.

The residents on the Montefiore East rotation also cover the Jack D. Weiler Hospital, a 431-bed facility operated by Montefiore, located about 4 miles east of the Moses campus and a short walk from the Hutch. Weiler physically abuts classrooms and buildings that house the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Morris Park section of the Bronx. Weiler Hospital houses Montefiore’s busy maternal health program as well as a 35-bed tertiary-care NICU. The majority of the hospital provides primary and secondary care. The most complex patients, except neonates, are often transferred to Moses for Otolaryngology care.

Northwell Health/Long Island Jewish Hospital

In 2019 LIJ transitioned its academic affiliation from Einstein to Hofstra. Hofstra currently has their own Otolaryngology residency and currently enroll 2 residents per year. Einstein residents have already established an excellent working relationship with Hofstra residents and faculty, and we expect this to flourish in years forward.

Jacobi

Jacobi Medical Center is part of the New York City Health and Hospitals Commission (HHC). It is a 457-bed hospital affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine that is also located in the Morris Park neighborhood of The Bronx. Jacobi offers outpatient, inpatient and tertiary care Otolaryngology training to our residents during their rotation and is a Level 1 trauma center providing extensive training in facial trauma. Along with its partner HHC hospital, North Central Bronx Hospital (NCB), Jacobi and NCB form the North Bronx Healthcare Network that provides care for nearly 1 million New Yorkers.
