Ishwari Iyer, MD
Third-Year Internal Medicine Resident, Brooklyn Hospital Center, New York
I am a third-year chief resident at Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York. My passion for Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM)began during my second year of residency, when I experienced being a part of rapid response and code blue teams The intellectually stimulating challenge of making time-sensitive decisions and triaging critically ill patients as well as sensitive conversations I had with patients and their families during critical moments, drove my passion towards PCCM. I am excited to begin fellowship in PCCM this July at Mount Sinai Elmhurst.
Beyond medicine, I enjoy sharing my journey through my Instagram blog, where I document the highs and challenges of living alone in New York City, navigating residency, and embracing life in my 20s.
