Stony Brook Southampton Hospital
A Residency Like No Other — Family Medicine in the Heart of the Hamptons
Located on the eastern end of Long Island, our Family Medicine Residency Program stands out for its unique blend of clinical diversity, community engagement and academic excellence. What was once a healthcare desert is now a growing network of care — and we are proud to be at the center of that transformation. In partnership with Stony Brook University Hospital and other organizations, we’re bridging gaps in access and providing comprehensive care to all — from underserved, undocumented and homeless populations to the most affluent residents of the Hamptons.
Our program offers the full spectrum of family medicine, from birth to end-of-life care, and empowers residents to shape their own path. With unparalleled access to resources, mentorship and flexible training opportunities, our residents are not just learning — they are leading. We place a strong emphasis on social medicine, equipping our physicians to understand and address the social and environmental determinants of health that truly impact lives.
Join us where innovation meets compassion, and where your training can change a community.
The Stony Brook Southampton Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program is a three-year ACGME accredited training experience that combines comprehensive clinical education with specialized training in social and integrative medicine. Nestled in the heart of the Hamptons on Long Island’s South Fork, our training program is based in a small community hospital where residents experience diverse patient populations from all walks of life. We stand apart by providing access to all Stony Brook Medicine sites while maintaining our commitment to
community-based care, offering the rare combination of university hospital resources within a personalized community setting. Our program goes beyond ACGME requirements with distinctive focuses on social medicine, integrative medicine, neuromusculoskeletal medicine and palliative medicine education, creating what we believe is the optimal environment to develop exceptional family physicians.
Our program prepares residents for productive and fulfilling careers in family medicine, whether their path leads to clinical practice, research, academics, hospital medicine, or specialized fellowships. We emphasize evidence-based practice, community-centered healthcare delivery, leadership development and cultural competence while ensuring all graduates meet the standards of professional excellence adopted by the American Board of Family Medicine and are board eligible upon completion of our program. Through our collaborative approach with healthcare teams and the surrounding community, residents develop the skills to provide high-quality care to all patients regardless of socioeconomic status or background because we believe excellence in medicine begins with service to our community.
While Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is the epicenter of our program, several important affiliates (Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital) serve an invaluable role in training our residents. Residents gain a greater breadth of experience observing and learning the various institutional practices and career models available to family medicine graduates, furthering their preparation for a fulfilling and individualized career.
