Residency Program

Department Structure

For almost half a century, the Pediatric Residency Program at Schneider Children's Hospital (SCH) 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 Schneider Children's Hospital auspies was made to enhance the opportunities for residents' training and to further improve their pediatric education.

Schneider Children's Hospital 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. Schneider Children's Hospital 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 that provides comprehensive medical, surgical, dental and psychiatric care. Schneider Children's Hospitals function as community hospitals for local patients, while fulfilling its role as a tertiary referral center. A staff of specialists in all the major clinical areas includes a large full-time faculty of more than 150 pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons and surgical subspecialists, psychiatrists, dentists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation therapists, pharmacists and other health professionals and technical personnel. Our voluntary staff of more than 400 pediatricians also play a role in the education of our residents.

Schneider Children's Hospital is a cornerstone of the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System. The System is a comprehensive network of hospitals, nursing homes and ambulatory facilities in six counties. The Children's Hospital is the Long Island Campus for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and New York University School of Medicine. Our residents actively participate in the training of third and fourth-year medical students in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

SCH is a leading regional resource providing specialized health services for acutely and chronically sick newborns, children and adolescents in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Outpatient services are available at Schneider Children's Hospital's main campuses in New Hyde Park and Manhasset and at regional Consultation Centers in Flushing, Commack, Hewlett, West Islip, Brooklyn (Opening Fall 2003) NY and Westwood, NJ.
