Welcome to your rotation in Beth Israel's Department of Medicine! Our goal is to provide you with the best experience possible. This page will provide you with useful and important information about both the third year clerkship and the fourth year sub-intern experience.
Ms. Marvia Alston is the Manager of Medical Students. She is in charge of coordinating all aspects of your rotation. Her office on the 20th Floor of Baird Hall (Southwest corner of First Avenue and 17th Street, entrance on the South side of 17th Street). Her phone number is 212-420-5058. Please direct all your questions about the logistical aspects of the clerkship to Marvia. Rule #1 of your rotation here is to listen to what Marvia tells you! She is also a tremendous resource for you if you need help with anything.
Lisa Auerbach, MD, is the Site Director for the Third Year Clerkship.
