For more than 100 years, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center has been most successful in providing quality health care to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay.

Today, Bronx-Lebanon is the largest voluntary, not-for-profit health care system, serving the South and Central Bronx, with 958 beds at two major hospital divisions; a major psychiatric facility; two specialized long term care facilities; and an extensive “Bronx Care” Network of 70 medical practices, including the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Health Center. The hospital ranks #1 in the metropolitan area (9th in the nation) for quality of care, affordability, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.

Graduate Medical Education at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center is based on the premise that well-educated and well-trained residents become practicing physicians that provide high quality, responsive, and compassionate patient care. As the sole sponsor of 14 residency and fellowship programs in the specialties of addiction psychiatry; child and adolescent psychiatry; general dentistry; pediatric dentistry; family medicine; gastroenterology; internal medicine; obstetrics and gynecology; ophthalmology; pediatrics; psychiatry; pulmonary medicine; radiology; and surgery, Bronx-Lebanon annually trains more than 300 residents from culturally diverse backgrounds.
An outstanding Bronx-Lebanon clinical faculty, most holding academic appointments at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, provide residents with competency-based education centered around the six core competencies of medical knowledge, patient care, practice-based learning, systems based practice, professionalism, and interpersonal communication skills.

All programs, with the exception of the dental training program (which is American Dental Association approved), are fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Bronx-Lebanon’s residents, in addition to being students, are also actively engaged in activities that promote patient safety and ensure quality care, including full compliance with the “National Safety Goals” promulgated by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), a major accrediting organization.
