Summer College Intensive Program


Be Part of our dynamic Summer College Intensive Program at New York Methodist Hospital in Park Slope, Brooklyn.




To participate in this program, which begins June 2012 and ends in August, students are required to commit to a minimum of eight consecutive weeks, twelve hours per week.  We provide placements in direct patient care areas, both on in-patient units and in outpatient clinics.

Additionally participants will have opportunities to explore a variety of medical specialties and meet some of our outstanding physicians at lectures, observations and discussions.  Some of the clinicians who will share their expertise this summer are:   
  • Emil Baccash, M.D. Internist and Gerontologist, President of the New York Methodist Medical Board
  • John Heitner, M.D. Director of  Non-invasive Cardiology and Nuclear Medicine
  • Revathy Sundaram, M.D. Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
  • Martin Zonenshayn, M.D. Chief of Neurosurgery
Interviews will take place as applications are received.  If you are selected for an interview we will request a copy of your most recent transcript and an essay demonstrating your interests and focus.

This is a highly competitive program and we have a limited amount of slots available. To be considered begin by filling out an application. Make sure you highlight your interests and achievements in the notes section of the application and indicate that you are applying for the Summer College Intensive. If you are selected for an interview you will then be required to submit a transcript and a resume. Deadline for applications is March 1, 2012.
