We offer a robust clinical and scholastic experience in a family centered region of New York. We have a dedicated 10 bed neuroscience unit (Level 4 NAEC) for our surgical patients and perform stereoEEG assisted by our robot ROSA. We also have a three bed sleep lab. We have opportunities in multiple locations across the metropolitan region. CCMC is committed to a center of excellence in pediatric neurology including the newly renovated Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (NAEC level 4) which opened in 2022. We oversee 40,000 deliveries per year in the Northwell Health system, with many NIH funded research projects in that division. The chairman of Pediatrics is a Neonatologist. We also have a very robust division of Pediatric Genetics. Faculty have appointments at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra / Northwell. We have an active research program with intramural and extramural funding, and ongoing several drug studies. Learn more about the division in this video : .
