Bronx-Lebanon is the sole sponsor of 14 residency and fellowship programs, including 12 accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and two accredited by the American Dental Association.

The 12 ACGME programs, with more than 300 residents and fellows, are Addiction Psychiatry, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Gastroenterology, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Pulmonary Diseases, Radiology, and Surgery.

The American Dental Association accredited training programs are General Dentistry and Pediatric Dentistry.
Graduate Medical Education at Bronx-Lebanon is based on the premise that well-educated and well-trained residents become practicing physicians that provide high quality, responsive, and compassionate patient care.

An outstanding Bronx-Lebanon clinical faculty, most holding academic appointments at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, provide residents and fellows with competency-based education centered around the six core competencies of medical knowledge, patient care, practice-based learning, systems based practice, professionalism, and interpersonal communication skills.

Dr.Gumbs The teaching curriculum addresses all aspects of health care delivery, including administration, financing, and information technology. During their training, residents also learn about cultural diversity and sensitivity to patients, particularly in terms of the caring process.

Bronx-Lebanon’s residents, in addition to being students, are also actively engaged in activities that promote patient safety and ensure quality care, including full compliance with the “National Safety Goals” promulgated by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

The residency programs at Bronx-Lebanon have received “continued accreditation” from the ACGME and American Dental Association. Among the highlights of the recent accreditations were the Department of Medicine and Pulmonary residency programs being extended to six-year accreditations. OB/GYN, Surgery, Psychiatry, and Addiction Psychiatry received five-year accreditations.

Additionally, Ophthalmology received a four year accreditation, while the Family Medicine and Pediatrics residencies received three-year accreditations.

A hospital’s Institutional Review involves the ACGME conducting a comprehensive and detailed survey of individual residency programs and medical education plan.

“Our survey results are most impressive and reaffirm the excellence of all our medical education programs,” stated Dr. Latha Menon, Director, Graduate Medical Education.


Bronx-Lebanon’s excellence in the medical education area was also reaffirmed by the New York State Department of Health’s award of more than $700,000 from the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Reform Incentive Pool. The intent of this program is to select residency training programs of teaching hospitals that are responsive to the needs of New York State, particularly including those in inner cities, with diverse populations.

“Bronx- Lebanon is among the few hospitals in New York State that have been consistently awarded a significant medical education grant allocation,” stated Dr. Menon.
