Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center Program
About This Program
The focus of our community-based program is primary care. About 50% of our residents go on for fellowship training. We serve a diverse patient population and residents develop cultural competence during training. Residents rotate at our affiliates for experiences in tertiary institutions and also get the opportunity to rotate in other institutions as part of their individualized curriculum and/or to supplement their training. Faculty get to know residents well because of the size of our program.
