hello, I am not familiar with SUNY, but I did my peds clerkship as an MS3 at LIJ/schneider/northshore and thought it was a great place. Schneider is one of the best children's hospitals in the area, but you also rotate through lots of other hospitals in the LIJ system too I think. The faculty was great, conferences were great. The program is huge though and I'm not sure how close all the residents get with each other. There are many IMGs there, I think its a great program that is not very competetive for some reason, maybe because its on long island in suburbia, but its only 30 minutes from manhattan. lots of the residents i met were doing fellowships at prestigious institutions, some may have had trouble matching in more highly competetive specialties like allergy/immuno, but otherwise opportunities looked good.
