Mark Kozicky, MD |Program Director, Internal Medicine
Welcome to the Internal Medicine residency program at St. John’s! We are proud to provide engaging educational conferences, interactive workshops, simulation training, along with comprehensive clinical experiences designed to build our resident physicians’ confidence and skills.
While technology plays a significant role in our field, we believe the timeless “art” of medicine remains crucial, as echoed in the Hippocratic and Osteopathic Oaths. Residents at St. John’s gain evidence-based knowledge while honing professionalism, communication, clinical reasoning, and procedural skills. We’re always open to feedback, whether it’s about patient care or your learning environment, as we strive for continuous improvement. Our mission is to teach residents how to balance applying science with compassionate bedside manner to deliver high-quality care to our diverse community, while providing you an exceptional educational experience.
Situated in a vibrant suburban area near New York City, our program lets you enjoy a mix of cultural events, outdoor adventures, and athletic activities. We are committed to supporting physician well-being and personal growth. Our program hosts wellness events, retreats, and team-building activities throughout the year, allowing residents to connect with peers, faculty, and the community here at St. John’s.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability.
