BRONX-LEBANON HOSPITAL CENTER

 

	People are very supportive and respective here of the need for residents to have time outside of the hospital, whether that be to spend time with family, pursue sporting interests, connect with friends, etc. Residents go the extra mile to help each other get the work done and to have fun in the process! There is always someone around to bounce ideas off of when you are working a patient's plan - everyone from attendings to fellow interns are eager to share their knowledge with you.
