A premier academic children’s hospital

The only pediatric facility in the Bronx, CHAM is home to one of the busiest ambulatory programs in the country. All pediatric subspecialties are represented here, giving our Pediatric Residents exposure to all areas of Montefiore Einstein pediatrics.

CHAM Inpatient Floors

The sixth through ninth floors of CHAM are home to our medical and surgical inpatient units. Here, residents play a key role on our hospital medicine and pediatric subspecialty teams, and learn to provide comprehensive family-centered pediatric care to our patients. Over the course of their second and third year training at the Moses Campus, senior residents develop team leadership skills, gain independence in clinical decision making and refine their teaching skills.

CHAM Pediatric Emergency Department

The Pediatric Emergency Department at CHAM is dedicated to providing immediate care for sick and injured children. Here, our residents learn to assess and stabilize patients from infancy through adolescence while working side-by-side with fellowship-trained pediatric emergency medicine faculty.   

CHAM Pediatric Critical Care Unit

CHAM’s 26-bed Pediatric Critical Care Unit (PCCU) provides care for critically ill children of all ages. During second- and third-year rotations, CHAM residents care for medical, surgical and cardiac patients. Our multidisciplinary teams allow residents to learn alongside pediatric intensive care attendings, fellows, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and nutritionists.

The residents are the heart of CHAM and inspire all of us to practice our best medicine. Their dedication to improving health outcomes for the children of the Bronx is a constant reminder that there is no other place I would want to practice or teach.

An unmatched diversity of experience

As a premier academic medical center serving the Bronx, Westchester and the Hudson Valley, Montefiore Einstein offers its postgraduate trainees comprehensive exposure to a broad diversity of patients and pathologies. The diverse range of experience available prepares our postgraduate trainees for future careers in their chosen field, be it in the research or clinical and/or non-clinical setting.

Hear from our residents

As one of the top 10 largest medical and surgical training programs in the country, Montefiore Einstein provides postgraduate clinical training to more than 1,400 residents across 106 accredited residency and fellowship programs. Here, our postgraduate trainees share their own first-hand experiences.

Live and work close to the best of everything

The Bronx, New York City’s northernmost borough, is a culturally rich neighborhood placed at the intersection of Manhattan and its surrounding regions. Our postgraduate trainees typically live in hospital housing or off-site in nearby Riverdale, Lower Westchester or Manhattan, and have access to an unmatched diversity of experiences beyond the program itself. 

In the Bronx, with its ample parks and gardens, you’ll learn first-hand why it’s known as “the City’s Greenest Borough.” The neighborhood offers plenty of local food, art, sports and culture, and is just a subway ride away from Manhattan’s famed theaters, museums and attractions. 

As a resident of the Tri-State region, you’ll have unmatched access to the city’s cultural offerings, not to mention the bounty of outdoor excursions that are available just beyond. Day-trips and weekend excursions to the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Long Island or New Jersey provide ample opportunities for swimming, hiking, biking, skiing and other seasonal activities.
