The Harlem Hospital Residency Programs
From Our Senior Vice President The Residency Programs at Harlem Hospital Center have many strengths. Perhaps our most important strengths are the commitment of the faculty to graduate medical education, the collegiality and camaraderie between the faculty and residents, the opportunities to do research in a public health setting, and of course, the world-class attractions of New York City. Harlem Hospital Center has a successful tradition of training dentists, physicians, and surgeons. Our programs have remained competitive, meeting both the needs of our patients and the educational requirements of our Residents. The long line of scholars with whom we have shared the art and science of healing have well-respected practices across this country and throughout the world. Read more about our residency programs.

Affiliation with Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons

Since 1962, Harlem Hospital Center has been affiliated with the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons under an agreement with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. All attending physicians have academic appointments on the Columbia faculty and Harlem Hospital Center's Department of Medicine serves as one of the three main teaching units of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. All facilities of the University are available to Harlem's house officers.

Internal medicine residents at Harlem Hospital also have complete access to Columbia University's Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library. The library has a large number of journals, medical textbooks and other databases that can be accessed online with a Columbia UNI at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/.

EMR

Harlem Hospital Center has one of the most advanced electronic medical records developed by MISys Healthcare systems. Awarded the 2006 Davies Award of Excellence from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) for our successful transition from paper to digital patient records.

Currently, all patient notes, consultation records, medication prescriptions, procedures and orders as well as documentation by all healthcare workers including, nursing, dietary, respiratory therapy and social work are completed online. In addition, there are wireless computer carts available to allow charting of information at the bedside as well. This facilitates easy data retrieval and better patient care.

A hospital-wide PACS system allows healthcare providers to review all radiological procedures at specialized PACS systems located throughout the hospital. An intranet-based PACS system also allows viewing of digital radiology films at other workstations.
