brooklyn queens program in internal medicine.i tried to find out abt it on scutwork but couldnt quite get the reviews.its mary immacuate hospital of brooklyn queens program.i will be going there for an interview.i would appreciate if some one could throw some light on it.
 
your best source of info will be the program's and hospital's websites. if it's a small, community-based program with a lot of IMGs, don't hold your breath waiting for one of their residents to post here. i can tell you, as an american senior, that we're advised to be very leery of such programs because there is a reputation that such programs are mainly looking for low-cost bodies to staff their wards and that teaching is a minimal priority compared to what's available at larger, academic-based programs. we're told this is the case in pretty much all specialties, but especially internal medicine and pediatrics. my point is that you need to try to determine for yourself what type of program this is by talking to as many residents and faculty as you can on interview day. good luck.
 
So I just got the hell out of NYC, near Queens, because the hospital was nothing more than fast forward Nazi Germany with all psych patients trapped for the residents to experiement on. I was the only caucasian, English as a first language person there for the most part. I have NEVER been in such a tremendous HELL than that place. Think long and hard before going there. I have a friend who went to med school in NYC and told me that all the outlying hospitals are like that. Be sure you visit before you sign any contracts. Most of those places are full of FMG's because:

1. they need a foothold in the US and will take anything avail

2. NYC ghetto is still a step up from a third world country.


Hope that helps in your decision.
