Maimonides has an entire department set up for osteopathic medical education, and has formed a pretty strong partnership with NYCOM and I believe is in NYCOMEC (the AOA residency programs operated by NYCOM).
Maimo is a community-hospital located in Borough Park, Brooklyn, a largely orthodox Jewish community (according to the community website, it's the largest orthodox Jewish community outside Israel). It has a ton of money and recently finished a brand, spanking new emergency center. Its claim to fame is having performed the first human heart transplant in the US in 1967.
Maimo has a formal affiliation with SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and has students from Downstate, NYCOM, Ross, St. George's, and other schools rotating.
Living in Borough Park can be expensive, depending on where you choose to live. If you live in nearby Bay Ridge or Dyker Heights, the rent is between $800 for a small, two-bedroom apartment to $1200 for a large three-bedroom apartment.

Tim,
Thank you for your reply!
How competitive is it to get a posotion there?
Is it a dually approved program?
Their IM residency is a Primary Care based prgram rather than Categorical. I imagine this would limit an applicant when applying for fellowships. Is fellowship out of the question when in a Primary Care program?
Would one be an appealing applicant to an ACGME residency in Categorical IM coming out of the Maimo D.O. rotating intership?
I saw that they only filled 10/12 D.O. rotating internship spots. Is this any indication of its competitivness?

I can't comment on any of Maimo's postgrad programs, but I'm sure if you check out their website www.maimonidesmed.org you'll find out more.
As for the 10/12 DO rotating internship spots filled, I don't think that's any indication of competitiveness. There are various reasons for why a program has 2 unfilled spots.

Great assessment of Maimo, Tim.
Yes, Maimonides is a full participating member of NYCOMEC and they have several dually-accredited AOA/AMA residency programs. Contact NYCOMEC for more info.
