Past Resident Statements

"During my four years at Winthrop, I have developed lasting friendships with a collegial group of co-residents, attendings, and housestaff colleagues. The friendships that develop between residents and attendings make for a uniquely personal learning experience. The educational experience at Winthrop is phenomenal! Residents get individualized teaching at the PACS station, see a broad spectrum of pathology, and become involved in various research projects. It is no surprise that Winthrop residents match into top fellowship programs. I am grateful and fortunate for having trained at Winthrop. My residency training has prepared me well for a career in academics or private practice."
Luke Scalcione, MD

"The thing I enjoyed the most about my residency at Winthrop was the overall congenial atmosphere between the residents and attendings. It is a small and intimate residency program and you definitely feel the individual attention and guidance of the attendings, which are all excellent. Additionally, there are no fellows, therefore you really learn to be independent, and in some ways, act like a fellow. Overall a great training program."
Carla Ramas, MD

"Being a native Long Islander and knowing the reputation of Winthrop, I was lucky enough to do both my Internship in Medicine and Residency in Radiology. I enjoyed all five years at Winthrop, though I was sad to leave, I gained so much and felt extremely prepared for my boards and for the world outside of Winthrop. After doing my fellowship at NYU in Interventional Radiology, I was asked to come back as a attending to Winthrop and have happily joined the team at Winthrop."
Nicholas Georgiou, MD

"The residency program at Winthrop is very well-rounded and definitely prepares its residents for a career in radiology. While the department does have the faculty and case volume to support fellowship programs, it is a great benefit to the residents that they get the undivided attention of the faculty. The faculty is very generous with the amount of time given to educate and mentor the residents. Also, there are ample opportunities to get involved in research and the department is supportive of residents submitting research to national and international meetings. As chief resident, I found the administration to be very supportive of enabling proactive changes to improve the residency and curriculum. I highly recommend the radiology residency program at Winthrop."
Anoop Wattamwar, MD

"At Winthrop, I received great well-rounded general radiology training from a wonderful supportive faculty."

Steven Blumer, MD

"I really enjoyed the one on one interaction with the radiology attendings. Winthrop gave me a strong foundation for my radiology training."
Bobbi Ring, MD

"As a busy hospital with a small radiology residency program, Winthrop provides one-on-one education with exceptional subspecialty trained radiologists and rapidly graded responsibility on call. This immersion in radiology is the perfect environment to gain practical experience to become a world class radiologist. The attending radiologists start as your mentor, but soon become your friend, and are an invaluable resource whether for board review or beyond residency to land a great fellowship or job."
David Winger, MD

"As a result of the many hours logged and cases read for a busy trauma center in the middle of one of the most densely populated suburban counties in the country, I have found that I am thoroughly prepared for life after residency. Winthrop provided me with both a steady diet of bread and butter cases across modalities and a broad array of advanced pathology in the emergency, inpatient, and outpatient settings. More importantly, while at Winthrop I had access to outstanding faculty in all disciplines who devoted a great deal of their time to helping residents with academic endeavors ranging from teaching at the PACS Station to presenting original research at national meetings. The relatively small size of the program provides a setting that is conducive to the formation of close professional and personal relationships with colleagues and mentors; I think this is the greatest attribute of the program, as it creates an incredibly supportive environment in which to learn and work."
