Combined medicine-pediatrics Program

In 2026, we welcomed our inaugural Med-Peds class. Med-Peds residents split their time between Cohen Children’s Hospital, which directly neighbors Long Island Jewish Medical Center. The program is led by Dr. Maricel Pilapil and Dr. Preetha Kurian. The addition of the Med-Peds program has enriched our program as the residents bring unique perspective and a vibrant energy!
