St. Lukes-Roosevelt
Dermatology Residency Program Residency Training Program
About St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center is a private, voluntary teaching hospital affiliated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, Beth Israel Medical Center and Long Island College Hospital have formed Continuum Health Partners, Inc. This is a merger of resources to provide excellent care throughout New York City. The Hospital Center has completed a half-billion-dollar reconstruction of its two hospital divisions: a new 10-story building at St. Luke's Hospital, located adjacent to Columbia University at Amsterdam Avenue and 114th Street; and a 13-story building at the Roosevelt Hospital, located a few blocks south of Lincoln Center at Tenth Avenue and 58th Street. The rebuilding program includes two new, state-of-the-art Emergency Departments. A free private bus service transports staff at regularly scheduled times between the two divisions, a distance of three miles. St. Luke's-Roosevelt is one of the largest voluntary hospitals in the United States with 1,358 licensed beds, 100 primary and specialty clinics and programs, and more than 1,200 attending physicians. The Hospital Center admits approximately 43,000 patients, serves more than 300,000 outpatients, and provides emergency care for 120,000 patients every year. The new St. Luke's-Roosevelt provides a sophisticated and humane clinical environment in which health professionals can practice superior medicine and carry out innovative research. Providing an academic home for 500 residents and fellows in 36 clinical specialties, the new facilities greatly enhance the training and education of physicians in preparing for the highly complex medical practice of the future.
