Overview Welcome from Dr. Grace Kajita Wakefield Internal Medicine Residency Program Director Yaron Tomer, MD, Chair of Medicine, on Montefiore's Wakefield Program Learn more about our Program Our residency is a community-based hospital program affiliated with the Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. As a community hospital with a university affiliation, we have the best of both worlds. You will truly become a member of our family and quickly become comfortable with the place and the people, from the front door greeters to the ICU attendings. You will also have the benefits of being part of a nationally recognized medical center, with access to faculty who are leaders in their fields and cutting-edge technology.
