In the Internal Medicine Residency program in NYU Langone’s Department of Medicine, we believe that the best way to prepare physicians for any career in medicine is to serve culturally and socioeconomically diverse patient populations in a variety of clinical settings.

We offer residents unique training experiences at three types of hospital systems in New York City—private, municipal, and federal. At NYU Langone Medical Center in midtown Manhattan, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, NYC Health + Hospital/Bellevue and Gouverneur campuses, and the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System, residents encounter a broad range of patients and diseases. This experience prepares you for a rewarding career in clinical and academic medicine. Take a virtual tour to explore our residency training sites in Manhattan, and learn more about our current year-two and year-three residents.

The Department of Medicine has more than 1,200 faculty affiliated with our subspecialty divisions. We are currently training more than 221 internal medicine residents and boast a diverse research portfolio, supported by $60 million in annual funding.

Our dedication to excellence in teaching and patient care, high-quality research and residency programs, and outstanding Department of Medicine faculty combine to prepare our residents for any field they choose.

Graduates of the Internal Medicine Residency program have their choice of the most sought-after fellowships and internal medicine jobs. Approximately 70 percent of our graduates go on to participate in a fellowship program, with a match rate greater than 98 percent. The other 30 percent become general internists, both as hospitalists and in ambulatory practice in academic and community medical settings. Many graduates go on to become academic faculty, department chairs, and clinical leaders in hospitals throughout the United States.

Internal Medicine Residency Program Details

Overseen by program director Margaret R. Horlick, MD, residents participate in a comprehensive Internal Medicine Residency curriculum and choose among several interrelated Internal Medicine Residency tracks and programs that focus on complex care, subspecialty areas, ambulatory care, and research at our hospital campuses.

How to Apply

We participate in the National Resident Matching Program, also known as The Match. We only accept residency program applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), run by the Association of American Medical Colleges.

For the current 2024–25 recruitment season, our program will continue to use the ERAS supplemental application to aid in the holistic review process. Applicants to our program are asked to complete the supplemental application, including the use of program signals. Program and geographic signals will be used when reviewing applications and issuing invitations to interview. However, they will not be used in the final ranking of applicants.

We have the following requirements for our residency program:

• A passing score of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 before applying and USMLE Step 2 before graduating from medical school and starting residency. Our program does not have a minimum score requirement.
• Letter written by the Chair of the Department of Medicine at your school (If you are applying for a preliminary year, we will accept a letter from the chair of your specialty of interest in lieu of the Department of Medicine Chair letter).
• Two additional letters of recommendation
• International Medical Graduates must have graduated within the past 3 years and have at least one year of clinical experience practicing direct patient care in the United States. Observerships do not qualify.
• International Medical Graduates must have Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certification at the time of application.
• The Clinical Investigator Track requires a secondary application which can be found here.
