Schneider Children's Hospital
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. Residents
spend ninety percent of their training time at this institution.
Complementing the principal teaching hospital, Schneider Children's
Hospital at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset has 70 pediatric
beds devoted to the general medical and intensive care needs of children
of all ages, and another large state-of-the-art neonatal unit. SCH faculty
and fellows cover all the patients at both hospitals. Residents will
rotate to this institution for approximately 5 months during their training.
South Nassau Community Hospital is located in Oceanside. It has a modest
pediatric floor, a level two NICU and a pediatric emergency department.
Senior residents may spend up to a month at South Nassau.
The combined Children's Hospital resources provide comprehensive medical,
surgical, dental and psychiatric care. The Schneider Children's Hospitals
function as community hospitals for local patients, while fulfilling
their role as tertiary referral centers. A staff of specialists in all
the major clinical areas includes a large full-time faculty of more
than 150 general 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 significant role in
preparing our residents for the hospital and office responsibilities
of the general pediatrician.
In addition, the Fellows in our 13 pediatric Fellowships complement
the Faculty's clinical and academic relations with the residents. Finally,
our residents actively participate in the training of the third and
fourth-year medical students in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
