NWH launches internal medicine residency program

Northern Westchester Hospital located in Mount Kisco has launched an internal medicine residency program. NWH officials called the program “a significant step forward” in its growth as a center for quality medical education.

In its first year, the new residency program will enroll 16 residents from around the country. Categorical residents enrolled in the program will spend three years at the hospital preparing for careers in primary care or hospital medicine, or they may go on to pursue fellowships in internal medicine subspecialties. Preliminary residents enrolled in the program will complete a one-year term before specializing in fields like ophthalmology, dermatology, radiology, radiation oncology, or physical medicine and rehabilitation. The initial year provides a foundational understanding of general medicine before moving on to a specialization.

The program is led by Dr. Gary Stallings II, internal medicine residency program director and medical education director at NWH. Under the supervision of attending physicians, residents will tend to patients who receive care at NWH, as well as the uninsured and under-insured individuals from the surrounding community.

Over the next several years, the program is expected to double in size. In addition to internal medicine, the hospital plans to expand its training programs to include surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry, among other specialties.
