Graduate Medical Education
Advanced Training for Interns and Residents
As a major clinical campus for the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, Peconic Bay Medical Center and PBMC Health host graduate medical education programs in Family Medicine, General Surgery and Traditional Rotating Internship.
With an excellent student-to-faculty ratio and an attentive and experienced medical staff, PBMC is able to offer its medical residents a diverse, dynamic and quality education.
