CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME

Welcome! We are all very pleased that you will be spending the next four or five years of your career in the Emergency Department of SUNY-Brooklyn at Kings County Hospital. You have chosen to train at one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the country. We are a full academic department (1 of 55 in the country). Our residents rotate through five of the twenty-one affiliated emergency departments in the SUNY-Brooklyn system. While rotating through these facilities, you will be working with the finest emergency medicine physicians in the New York City area. The combined census for these five emergency departments is nearly 500,000 patients/year, more than double of any other residency program in the nation. You will be exposed to an arena of pathology rivaled by no other program in the United States. From the critical care and infectious disease at Kings County and University Hospital of Brooklyn, to the cardiovascular disease at the Brooklyn VA Medical Center, as well as an unparalleled community hospital experience in Staten Island, you will “see…do…then teach”, as your peers merely read.

This does not come without a price. I expect you to work hard, be a caring physician, and to teach. As a resident in one of the finest university systems in the country, you have the responsibility to teach your colleagues, your students, your staff and your patients. Our goal is to turn you into academicians and lifetime teachers. We are looking to train the future leaders in the field of emergency medicine.
I look forward to our bedside presentations, lively discussions at Wednesday conference and searches for the diagnosis at 2am. We, together are about to grow… it’s the reason why I’m here.
Welcome, and good luck.

Michael Lucchesi, M.D

Chairman of Emergency Medicine

Chief Medical Officer, UHB
