Graduate Medical Education

Innovation in Learning

At NewYork-Presbyterian, we’re shaping the next generation of physician leaders—thanks in large part to a transformational gift from The W. P. Carey Foundation.

This gift, which established the enterprise-wide W. P. Carey Residency Program and the W. P. Carey Scholars, supports a new curriculum designed to train doctors for the future.  Learn more about how we’re pushing medical education forward through foundational training in telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), big data and climate change.

W.P. Carey Residency Program

A New Core Curriculum

In collaboration with experts from Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, the W. P. Carey Residency Program is dedicated to preparing trainees through an extensive and innovative curriculum.

Telemedicine: Incoming trainees learn in a hybrid environment through the Center for Virtual Care at Weill Cornell Medicine. These virtual and in-person modules build competency-based skills that include cases and debriefing with expert educators.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Trainees engage in ongoing education comprising foundational modules and interactive journal clubs through the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. 

W. P. Carey Scholars

The W. P. Carey Scholars are a group of exceptional physician trainees who support the continued development of our curriculum. These scholars are mentored by expert scientists and technology innovators and focus on projects that advance digital medicine — including AI, big data and telemedicine — or climate-informed approaches to healthcare. Scholarly projects range in scope and scale:

  • Leading research
  • Mentored research
  • Applying research
  • Synthesizing research
  • Supporting innovation 

NewYork-Presbyterian GME Distinction in Climate Change, Sustainability, and Health

This one-year GME Scholars Program prepares residents and fellows to lead at the intersection of climate change, human health, and healthcare sustainability. Participants will develop a strong foundation in climate–health science while building practical skills to translate that knowledge into action at the intersection of clinical care, health care delivery, research, education and/or policy.

The curriculum combines structured learning with hands-on application through an individualized scholarly project aligned with each scholar’s interests. Along the way, scholars benefit from dedicated mentorship and meaningful engagement with leaders across the field.

Graduates emerge equipped to integrate climate and health into clinical care, education, and institutional practice, bringing this expertise to their departments, health systems, and communities.
