OUR APPROACH – YOUR OPPORTUNITIES

 Peninsula Hospital Center offers a selection of residency programs, internships and clinical clerkship positions.  PHC’s programs are approved by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).  The Hospital Center is affiliated with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) and the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM).

A proud affiliate of the North Shore/Long Island Jewish Health System, Peninsula Hospital Center is a voluntary, not-for-profit, 173-bed teaching center celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2007.  The Hospital Center, only approximately 45 minutes from downtown Manhattan,  is located in a seaside community near the Queens/Nassau border and serves the residents of the immediate Rockaway peninsula, the Five Towns of Nassau County and parts of mainland Queens and Brooklyn.  The population of the surrounding communities is extremely diverse:  ethnically, culturally and economically so the residents have an extraordinary opportunity to learn about and treat a wide array of diseases and medical conditions. 

 Peninsula Hospital Center renders all levels of health care service through its community-oriented Family Health Center, providing over 35,000 patient visits each year.  The Hospital Center offers an extensive range of diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive programs encompassing allopathic and osteopathic health care.

PATIENT FOCUS…  The focus on each patient as a unique individual is paramount at Peninsula Hospital Center.  State of the art technology allows medicine to cross new boundaries and an emphasis on interaction with each patient combined with clinical assessment and knowledge defines the quality of health care delivered.

 COMMUNITY-ORIENTED…Peninsula Hospital Center’s community-based medicine focus is supported not only by the outpatient network developed in primary care, but also through community service.  Residents are given opportunities to reach out to groups within the community as health educators, speakers and professional representatives.

EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY…Both the residents and the faculty of the PHC Medical Education Programs operate in exemplary unified cooperation – much like a family.  It is this team approach that meets the needs of the physician trainees and ensures a solid continuity of care for the patients.  The outstanding faculty is committed to excellence and innovation in the education process knowing that our successful graduates are the future of medicine. 

Outstanding Facility Highlights

In an effort to better train the physicians of tomorrow and bring you the best in quality health care, Peninsula Hospital Center serves as a training site for numerous medical schools. Your physician may serve as a mentor/instructor to a medical student, supervising this education process.

Observation is a large part of the role of the medical student. However, he/she may also discuss your medical history with you, take your blood pressure, provide a physical exam, and discuss good health habits. Your physician and the medical student review your concerns and work together to establish a treatment plan best suited for you.

You may choose not to participate in the teaching program, as this is a voluntary program. However, the benefits of having two professionals caring for you are many.
