If you don't want to be bored, you'll want a level 1 trauma hospital. So I did a quick search on level 1 trauma on Google and found this. I think Bellevue is NYU and Elmhurst is Mt Sinai. I can't speak for how good the electives are though: The Official New York City website (www.nyc.gov) for ?level 1 trauma?, and found the following hospitals. Jacobi Medical Center (in The Bronx) http://www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/jacobi/html ... enter.html Elmhurst Hospital Center (in Queens) http://www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/html/elmhurst.html Harlem Hospital Center (in Harlem) http://www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/html/harlem1.html Bellevue Hospital Center (in Manhattan) http://www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/bellevue/ht ... _dept.html A map of all The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation facilities in New York (including the above four centers) can be found at]http://www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/html/map.html[/url] I'm not sure if this helps, but it's a start I guess.
