Program Director

Barry Brenner, MD, PhD

Welcome to our website on Emergency Medicine training at Garden City Hospital.  Here you will learn our philosophy of the education needed for emergency physicians, our approach to discovery, wellness, humanism, changes in medicine, and how we execute these.  Of one thing you can be sure, Emergency Medicine will not be the same in 25 years.  How will you grow and always stay cutting edge?  We emphasize these skills.  If you are serious about applying, read the full Program Director statement.  It is a true privilege to start and reinvigorate another program in EM after being the inaugural PD at Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, running that program for over 10 years.  We are looking for residents with whom to share this exciting, rare opportunity to build new.
