Roosevelt has been a teaching hospital of Columbia since 1900. St. Luke's has been a teaching hospital of Columbia since 1947. Columbia medical students rotate through our department. Residents and faculty have the opportunity to teach the students in informal one on one interaction as well as with more formal diidactic and case presentations. Residents rotate at Columbia to gain additional Pediatric experience. Columbia faculty members Jeffrey Newhouse and Carrie Ruzal-Shapiro give conferences at St. Luke's-Roosevelt on a regular basis.
Residents have full electronic and physical access to the Columbia library system.
The Columbia undergraduate campus is located across the street from the St. Lukes site. Follow this link for an example of ongoing activities on campus as noted in the Columbia News. Residents also attend the one day Radiobiology Course at Columbia with Eric Hall, D.Sc., author of Radiobiology for the Radiologist, now in its sixth edition. Of historical note Isador I. Rabi discovered the phenomenon of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance at the Pupin Physics Laboratory. Michael Pupin is credited with developing the X-ray screen in 1896, a technique which allows for a marked reduction in patient dose. Pupin's lab was located at Philosophy Hall (pictured below).
