We are an internal medicine residency training program rooted in an academic medical center in the Bronx that delivers care using the paradigms and power systems inherent in modern Western medicine. We acknowledge that the current model of healthcare delivery is inadequate, and often harmful, to people who have been historically and currently marginalized and excluded.

Our vision is to challenge the status quo and reimagine resident education and the practice of medicine in order to bring equity and justice to healthcare.

We are committed to examining the existing power dynamics in healthcare, to frequent self-reflection, and to continuous personal and programmatic evolution. We work in solidarity with the Bronx community and will use the tools of advocacy, collaboration and power-sharing to meet the social justice needs of our time.
