The Allen Pavilion is a 200 bed community hospital located on the cusp of Manhattan as one of the five centers of excellence that comprise NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. The state-of-the-art ICU/CCU, labor and delivery and operating room suites, as well as medical and surgical outpatient and emergency care areas, provide quality care for patients and robust teaching experiences for our residents, under the supervision of exceptional clinicians and educators from Columbia University. Family Medicine is the only hospital department permanently situated at the Allen, ensuring comprehensive care for all incoming patients.



Resident Education



The Family Medicine Inpatient Service at the Allen provides the opportunities for residents to learn the skills and knowledge crucial for hospital care. The Inpatient Service team consists of one senior day resident (a PGY2 or PGY3), two interns, and a senior night float resident. The service accepts patients admitted not only from the ER, but also from the resident and faculty practices. The residents become skillful in full spectrum care inside and outside of the hospital setting. Teaching in the inpatient service is provided by two faculty family physicians, a behavioral scientist, a PhD ethics/narrative medicine specialist, and a full array of subspecialty consultants.



The Allen Pavilion also provides our residents in training hospital experiences in the other major specialties. Family Medicine residents spend two months in general surgery, working with surgical attendings in their offices, in the inpatient surgical service and in the O.R. During their two and a half months of maternity training, residents experience the busy labor floor and postpartum wards, working one-on-one with members of the Family Medicine OB Faculty as well as the Allen obstetricians. The intensive care rotation spans 2 months under the supervision of intensivists from Columbia University´s Department of Medicine. The residents also rotate for one month with the adult psychiatry service, learning directly from their faculty how to perform psychiatric evaluations and how to treat mentally ill, chemically dependant, general adult psychiatry or inpatient referrals from other services.
