Please shed some light on the following issue:

When a resident graduates from a university-affiliated community hospital, will she gets a diploma titled with that University too?

For example, if I graduate from Harlem Hospital, will my diploma be written as "Columbia University"?

Thanx.

I'm not BBB but...

i dont think all affliated hospitals can put the university name on diploma....i guess its happens when the affliation is very strong and not just name sake.....a few examples i can think of...scranton/temple..washington hosp ctr/GT univ...sisters of charity/UB...etc...

pls do correct me if this is wrong info

gd luck

I think when it is really affiliated (not a just a rotation or two at the actual university center) then the diploma carries also the name of the university. I read it somewhere (not on public forum, it was a website).

Bayview is best for geriatrician training. They will design a tailored program for each matched candidate according to ur future goal. Each has a clinical as well as a research mentor.
The related research volume is probably the thickest worldwide.

But...they basically take AMG, very strong AMG, mostly from JHU.

Thanx, medicus_81. That's what I heard from an AMG too.

I dont know much about Sinai, sorry, but heard some of my JHU friends saying it's a sloppy program(No JHU graduate would go there for sure).
I think it's just like almost all other community hospitals in Baltimore area, having ties with JHU. The difference is, other hospitals wont use JHU to advertise themselves, but Sinai would.

No. You graduated from Harlem Hospital, not Columbia University and will receive a certificate of completion. I can't answer for all programs, but you aren't at the university - the most that might be on there is Harlem Hospital, an affiliate hospital of Columbia University or something like that.

It's going to vary widely. My program is affiliated with two universities, neither name is on our certificate.

Yah, it's 1 of the 3 members of Yale New Haven Health.
But for St. Raphael or Danbury, the story may be different.

It's like u get Hopkins certificate in Bayview, but not sure about Sinai as it's not their indoor system.
