Resident
Life
Residents are given the option to live in campus
apartments or to accept an allowance to supplement
off-campus quarters. On-campus parking is provided
at no cost. A restaurant, gift shop, and ATM
are located within the Hospital. A chapel and
clergy provide Christian, Jewish, and Muslim
religious services. Uniforms are provided and
laundered at no cost, as are wide-area pagers.
A full-service Health Sciences Library, open
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each week-day, subscribes
to most of the major medical journals and houses
approximately 10,000 monographs.
The
Health Sciences Library is accessible to authorized
personnel at other times by arrangement.
Resident housing is
located on the grounds of Nassau University
Medical Center at very reasonable rents.
Recreational facilities are available to residents
living on the premises. For those choosing to
live off campus, there is a living allowance
of $3,000.
Our active Community Relations Department often
offers reduced-rate opportunities for Broadway
plays, major sporting events, concerts, and
opera. Each year the hospital sponsors a number
of different family events on campus.
Resident concerns, including personal issues,
are addressed through the
Department of Academic
Affairs. Residents are fully covered
by a self-insured
professional
liability policy. An orientation program
is held to:
• Introduce important
hospital services and staff.
• Describe residents’ rights and privileges.
• Address issues related to professional and personal
life.
