Meet the Interns
The interns beginning in 2012-2013 have joined the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Internal Medicine Residency Program from a variety of backgrounds.
"Training at Weill Cornell will give me a unique perspective on working in a culturally diverse environment that offers a vast range of pathology. Moreover, the research opportunities along with the global and rural health offerings here are just extraordinary features that will allow me to further explore my interests and enrich my experiences. My interactions with the residents, and the faculty reinforced my belief that I would gain an outstanding training in a very supportive environment." - Mohamed Al-Kazaz
"I chose NYP-Weill Cornell because of the incredible opportunities in medicine and research that are available here. The benefits of the Cornell's tri-institutional collaboration (which is one of the biggest hospitals in the US, a world leader in cancer care, and world class research center which is home to 6 current Nobel Prize laureates) are impossible to beat. Living in NYC less than 5 minutes away from your workplace makes it all even better. I am happy here." - Aleksey Novikov
"As an MD/MBA, I was drawn to programs that combine excellent clinical training with innovative learning systems and robust quality improvement practices that are part of the daily workflow. What differentiated Cornell were organizational innovations such as Academic Time and Handoff Rounds, as well as the opportunity to lead change by serving on the hospital-wide Housestaff Quality Council. On top of that, there is a real family-like atmosphere between residents, program staff, and leadership. It is a wonderful place to be!" - Kaartiga Sivanesan
"I cannot stress enough how important it is to feel like you have a support system in place wherever you decide to match for residency. Cornell is one of those programs where you feel like you are truly part of a team. This is an incredible place to train that will open many doors and will build important relationships you will inevitable carry throughout your career as a physician." - Julian Khagi
