I would like to warn everyone that this is a very malignant program with malignant administration. The program director can basically ruin your life whenever he wants. If you are not afraid to take a huge risk of ruining your career, this program is for you.


If you speak up about any problem, the program will shut you down and ruin your future. They are very dangerous people. Trust me you do not want to deal with the program director and associate program director. They have the power to ruin your life and they will if they want to. There has been many incidents where residents get kicked out of this program and not find any residency position thereafter.


Nurses are very rude the residents and nobody backs you up. They treat you like dirt. They don't do their job and often times you are going to be held responsible to do what they dont (blood draws, running specimens to lab, putting NG tube). These will add up to your daily responsibilities.


The hours are insane. You will work on average of 90-100 hours a week and they will not allow you to log more than 80 hours a week in to the system. In other words, they will make you report false hours. They do not care about you. If you log your true hours, you will get kicked out and it has happened to people in the past. Also, they can easily kick people out of the program when they want due to their shady contract.


You will go above the ACGME rules in terms of number of carried patients on the floors and you will be responsible of any mistake that you do regardless of your work load. Imagine carrying 20 patients and writing progress notes for each. You will not even have time to eat during lunch.


Attendings do not care about your learning. There is no learning in the program.


During COVID, the program administration told the residents not to get tested for COVID because they did not want to allow anyone to take sick days off.


The fellowship positions are given to the ones that do chief year. Other ones barely get any position. They falsely advertise during residency interviews.

The conditions described are pretty typical of Brooklyn hospitals unfortunately.
