Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone has any information about the quality of the program at Hofstra LIJ. I know they are a new program that just started with a few residents. How have people's experiences been with these new programs? I was told that your education as a resident often times come not from attendings but from senior residents. So in this sense, would not having an established succession of residents be problematic? Thanks

My senior and junior residents were best at letting me know where to get lunch and where the most private bathrooms in the hospital were.

I think if the attendings are dedicated to education, it will be a fine program.

Revealing where the most private restrooms are in the hospital shows trust among fellow colleagues and I'm forever thankful for that!

I'll have to respectfully disagree. My senior residents (PGY-5) when I started (PGY-2) were all superstars and vital to my training. Many times they would answer questions that I thought were too stupid for an attending. Also, they took the lead in our morning conferences which really enhanced our education. Finally, they were reliable contacts during my job search and I was able to discuss sensitive topics (e.g. salary) with them freely and discreetly.
