Are you interested in a shadowing experience? 

Ezras Cholim is our new shadowing program. We have partnered with the Ezras Cholim Health Center (located in Kiryas Joel, NY) to further expose our students to clinical experiences and complex cases. During the program, students will be shadowing internists at the facility in New York.

Their mission: Ezras Choilim’s mission is to provide the best healthcare for everyone in the community. Dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of the people in the community they serve. Promoting the physical and mental health of their patients through comprehensive integrated services as well as community outreach, prevention, and patient education. They continuously design and maintain affordable services and programs that respect all social and cultural sensitivities while meeting the healthcare needs of all of their patients.

Student responsibilities and tasks will encompass arriving on time, shadowing the physician through his or her daily work with patients and coworkers alike. When possible, the student may be permitted to assist the physician upon request with patient note taking and interaction or administrative help such as running errands, retrieving staff or paperwork, etc…

The program hours consist of Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday between the hours of 9am -5pm and Wednesdays from 12pm to 8pm and Fridays 9am-1pm. Students will be required to work a minimum of 4 hour shifts once a week (with the option for 8 hour shifts) for 8 weeks, with the opportunity of completing more.

Please note we are looking for a serious commitment and if students need to cancel notice needs to be 1 week in advance or they will not be able to participate in the future.
