Why Choose Stony Brook?

Welcome to the Endocrinology Fellowship Program at Stony Brook. We are delighted by your interest, and look forward to telling you more about our training program.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Whether you plan on a career in a subspecialty of internal medicine or general medicine, primary care or hospital medicine, private practice or academics, Stony Brook Internal Medicine Residency will give you:

• The tools to be a compassionate, observant physician
• The skills to be a life-long learner
• The knowledge to deliver the highest quality medical care

OUR STRENGTHS
We are very proud of Stony Brook and all it has to offer trainees. A number of highlights we want to call your attention to include:

• A "closed-faculty" system, where the same attending is responsible for all team patient care and the teaching experiences. The effort of tracking down multiple attendings is removed.


• Two outstanding teaching hospitals with diverse patient populations. Our hospitals are the only referral hospitals for Suffolk County. Residents learn by seeing patients with both common problems and rare problems, so when they complete their training, they can practice with confidence anywhere, in any situation. We are nationally recognized as leaders in health care, and have state-of-the art centers in cardiac care, oncology, and many other aras.e


• A fabulous place to live. Suffolk County and the Stony Brook area are beautiful, safe environments with an abundance of places to see and things to do, from beautiful beaches to wonderful parks to charming traditional villages to culture and sports. Our local school systems are nationally top-rated, and we benefit from being across the street from the main campus of Stony Brook University, one of the top-rated public universities in the country.


• Exceptional career preparation. Our graduates go on to train at highly competitive fellowship programs, and also pursue careers in practice in both hospitalist and outpatient settings. They are highly sought after both on Long Island and around the country.


• An upbeat, caring, experienced administrative staff who emphasizes service.
