Mary Portera

The Washington Heights street grid meets the Hudson River at 168th, where medical education fits into the rhythm of daily life. Mary Portera anchors that rhythm at 630 W 168th St #8, New York, NY 100323725, across from the Columbia campus. A short walk from the A train, the space serves students, residents, and faculty who need flexible access to core rotations and electives.

Internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and neurology anchor the curriculum here. Electives in emergency medicine and outpatient family practice round out the offerings, giving learners a compact yet complete set of rotations. The schedule adapts to hospital blocks and ambulatory weeks, letting each trainee map their own path through the year. Trainees also receive primary-care continuity clinics built into their calendar.

They’ll walk you through prerequisites and credentialing paperwork without a flashy sales pitch—just straightforward scheduling.
