Shama Khan

Large medical centers often overshadow smaller nearby schools. Shama Khan offers another route, concentrating on essential training across multiple specialties without the sprawl of a teaching hospital. Each program builds step-by-step, from clinical rotations to simulation sessions, without jumping straight into subspecialty overload.

Find it at 525 E 68th St, New York, NY 100654870, in a quiet stretch of the Upper East Side where midtown foot traffic thins just enough for focused work. The space is compact compared to downtown behemoths, yet designed to keep every session within a few floors. Group studies spill into quiet corners, and late-night labs stay within block-long reach of late-shift subways.

Call (646) 962-5437 to confirm rotations or check elective listings—lines are answered by schedulers who know the quarterly rotation blocks by memory. They’ll walk through prerequisites, away-rotation approvals, and research board requirements without routing you through three different departments. If paperwork is involved, they send a checklist the same day.

Find your bearings with the directions before the morning prep rush hits the 6 train. The walk from the station is short enough that a single coffee can bridge the gap between the platform and the first lecture. Outside, Lexus traffic hums past brownstone stoops—inside, the focus stays on practical skills.
