Welcoming our Family Medicine Residency class of 2029
July 29, 2026
We are pleased to welcome our newest family medicine residents, the class of 2029! You can find this new group of family physicians providing care at our health centers in Kingston, Ellenville, New Paltz, Harlem, downtown Manhattan and the Bronx. All three programs select applicants who show dedication to the Institute’s mission of providing high quality primary care to patients, regardless of ability to pay.
The Institute staff and leadership are proud of our role in training the next generation of family physicians. We are pleased to offer a well-rounded curriculum that incorporates concepts of social justice and whole-person care, and our residents work closely with our experienced providers. Our residents learn not only to provide top-quality care to our patients, but also to become advocates for our patients and communities.
Please join us in welcoming the class of 2029!
