“At Flushing Hospital Medical Center, our residents care for one of the most diverse patient populations in New York, gaining an exceptional breadth of clinical experience in a high-volume, academically driven training environment. This combination of rigorous clinical exposure and dedicated faculty mentorship prepares our graduates to confidently care for patients in any practice setting.
As Program Director, I am committed to continually strengthening our residency through innovation in medical education, scholarship, simulation, and evidence-based teaching. My goal is to cultivate an environment where residents are challenged to think critically, pursue lifelong learning, and discover their individual interests within Obstetrics and Gynecology. We strive to support each resident’s professional growth while fostering curiosity, leadership, collaboration, and compassion. Ultimately, we aim to graduate outstanding obstetrician-gynecologists who are clinically excellent, academically engaged, and prepared to thrive in fellowship, private practice, academic medicine, or leadership roles within our profession.”
