physician’s rounds Dolan Center Trains Residents from Glen Cove Family Practice By <strong>The</strong>resa Jacobellis HUNTINGTON — Pediatricians at Huntington Hospital’s Dolan Family Health Center are passing the flame <strong>of</strong> knowledge on to future physicians through a unique collaboration with Glen Cove Hospital’s Family Practice Program. Under the arrangement, second- <strong>and</strong> third-year family practice residents, physicians who are undergoing post-graduate training, will spend two years rotating through the Dolan Center to gain experience in pediatric medicine. Family practitioners take care <strong>of</strong> patients <strong>of</strong> all ages, from infancy through geriatrics. While residents in Glen Cove’s Family Practice Program get first-h<strong>and</strong> experience in caring <strong>for</strong> adults, the number <strong>of</strong> children treated there has declined over the years. “At Dolan, we take care <strong>of</strong> a large <strong>and</strong> diverse group <strong>of</strong> pediatric patients,” said William Gehrhardt, MD, pediatrician <strong>and</strong> medical director <strong>of</strong> the Dolan Center. “We are partnering with the Dolan Family Health Center because it is an exceptional outpatient facility with very capable staff <strong>and</strong> physicians <strong>and</strong> a wonderfully diverse demographic mix <strong>of</strong> patients,” said William Bennett, MD, director <strong>of</strong> Glen Cove Hospital’s Family Practice Program. “This partnership is a tribute to the excellence <strong>of</strong> the Dolan facility.” Under the arrangement, a group <strong>of</strong> 10 to 12 residents spends half a day at the Dolan Center, working side-by-side with either Dr. Gehrhardt or pediatrician 36 Summer 2012 Roberto Bl<strong>and</strong>o, MD. Residents participate in taking patient histories, checking vital signs <strong>and</strong> making diagnoses as well as treatment recommendations. Eventually, they will learn to use the Dolan Center’s electronic medical record (EMR). <strong>The</strong> relatively new arrangement already shows signs <strong>of</strong> success, according What’s Up, Doc?

In the past, the center has been involved with training pediatric residents <strong>and</strong> nurse practitioners. H<strong>of</strong>stra North Shore-LIJ School <strong>of</strong> Medicine students will also participate in educational experiences at Dolan. Dr. Gehrhardt is proud <strong>of</strong> the contributions that the Dolan Center is making, ensuring that future generations <strong>of</strong> physicians are well-trained <strong>and</strong> prepared. “It is an honor to be asked to do this,” he said. “Teaching others is an indication <strong>of</strong> excellence, <strong>and</strong> the presence <strong>of</strong> these residents enhances the care <strong>and</strong> education that we are able to provide to our patients.” Right: Glen Cove Hospital family practice resident Kapeel Kumar, MD, left, <strong>and</strong> Dolan Family Health Center pediatrician Roberto Bl<strong>and</strong>o, MD, examine six-monthold Stephenie Rivera Ochoa.
