Why Stony Brook? Stony Brook’s IM residency program provides an extremely supportive environment for each of its residents. This program consistently develops intelligent and confident residents, but not at the sake of the residents’ wellness. Regardless of one’s career goals, the program leadership will work tirelessly to ensure that each resident is able to achieve their needs. And finally, the culture of collegiality and kindness at this institution is one that cannot be easily replicated elsewhere.
