Department Structure
For almost half a century, the Pediatric Residency Program at Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center has been recognized as a premier teaching program for pediatric residents and fellows. A little over a mile away is North Shore University Hospital with a renowned pediatric residency program which has been a leader for decades in the field of pediatric education. The decision to bring these two outstanding programs together in 2003 under Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center auspies was made to enhance the opportunities for residents' training and to further improve their pediatric education.
Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park is a 154-bed hospital
which opened in 1983 as the New York Metropolitan area's only hospital
designed exclusively for children as a regional, tertiary care children's
hospital. Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center at North Shore in Manhasset
has 70 pediatric beds, devoted to the medical and intensive care needs
of children of all ages. The combined Children's Hospital is a resource
