Continuity Care Experience

Stony Brook pediatric residents are assigned to one of our five  primary care offices at the beginning of their intern year, and they remain at that site throughout their three years of training. Our residents spend a full day per week at their clinic site, providing a strong continuity relationship with their patients and office staff.

Stony Brook Primary Care offices are community-based offices staffed by our general pediatric faculty. There is a low resident to preceptor ratio, usually two residents for each faculty preceptor, allowing for a strong learner – teacher relationship.

Long Island is a growing community with a patient population that is culturally and socio-economically diverse.  We have a strong Latino community, as well as Asian, African American, and Turkish, among others.

All of our continuity clinic sites participate in the Reach Out and Read Program, promoting literacy by offering books to our patients at their well child visits.
