I tried searching for stuff on maimonaides but there is not much info other than they are new and do their trauma somewhere else, and there is no review on scutwork.com. anyone rotate there?

I'm also interested in a response to this question

I interviewed there two years ago. A recent grad of ours just started attending there. What do you want to know?

I'd be interested in knowing about work hours, off service rotations, salary, housing subsidies, and moonlighting opportunities. Also how long has the residency existed? How many years left on their current RRC approval? Just basic stuff.
Thanks Roja!!

Roja, I know who you are talking about! She is great!! She is really working her butt off though, I dont think she expected it to be as busy as it is, but then again that is everyones reaction when they just start out here. We like her, she can stay 🙂

That's fantastic. She is great adn we miss her. 🙂 Tell her the red head said hello... (actually you will have to narrow it to the red head with a kid because there are three red heads in our program now...



Here is what I remember from interviewing about maimo:
I wrote this after my interviews and summed up all the places I went with my views....

Maimonides Medical Center (http://www.mmc-em.org/)
This is a relatively new program, with only its first class of PGY-1’s when I interviewed. It is a 3 year program. Academic association is with Mt. Sinai. For those not familiar with NYC, this hospital is in Brooklyn. It is off the Q line, which runs express into the city (believe me, this becomes important). Maimonides is in a primarily Hasidic neighborhood, but given it’s reputation as a great hospital, it gets patients from all over Brooklyn. And since it is the only Hasidic hospital, it basically caters to all the Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. It is a public hospital, so despite its perception as a Hasidic hospital, they see the Hasidic population, plus what the diversity of what all public hospitals see.
This hospital has tons of money and is growing exponentially. They just built their new ED 5 years ago, and they are already starting to build a new one to accomidate their patient load. The most impressive thing is that their ED is completely computerized. Charting, labs, films, everything is on the computer. You can literally go to work here without a pen. It is really amazing. Peds is a separate ED. This is not a level 3 trauma center. So trauma is done for 2 months at Shock Trauma in Baltimore (totally cool if you can dump your family- if you have one- for two months I can’t and this is why I didn’t rank it as high.
Normal benefits.
The residency director, Dr. Church, is very nice and friendly. She is fairly young and as interesting and progressive ideas about training. Shifts are 9 hours. (The argument doesn’t seem to stand that you can’t get trained, they have the patient load to meet requirements for accredication… they were given provisional accredidation on their first application). There seemed to be a lot of teaching opportunities. Didactics seemed normal and appropriate.
Residents seemed to be fairly happy so far. Housing is available, and guaranteed/subsidized. It is in the same area as the hospital, which doesn’t have a lot of diversity, but in Brooklyn, it is not as hard to have a car. Also, since the q line is so easy, it’s easy to get into the city. Overall, I think this program will rapidly become a really great program.
