Chief Residents
Jashan Reet Stickle, PGY-4 Chief Resident
I am drawn to a career in global heath and expanding care to the underserved populations. I care deeply about resident well-being and building supportive environments in training.
Beyond medicine, you will find me writing poetry, reading a random dystopian Orwell-style book, or exploring the corners of NYC in my creative outfits.
Why NCB? Because it’s real. You see the gaps, the contrast, and you get to take care of people who might not get care otherwise. That feels meaningful.
Sung Mi Yoon, PGY-4 Chief Resident
I am originally from Korea and have lived in different parts of the world before coming to New York, which I find especially exciting for its vibrant culture. My interests include artificial intelligence, education, and research! In my free time, I enjoy working out and more recently exploring museums, looking for hidden gems in the city.
Why NCB? Its strong commitment to caring for a diverse and underserved patient population, its close connection to the city, and last but not least, the welcoming and supportive community within the program.
Ashot Batikyan, PGY-3 Chief Resident
I have always been drawn to cardiology, especially electrophysiology because of the blend of advanced technologies and hands-on patient care. Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing chess and listening to classical music.
Why NCB? Because people are so nice and supportive. It provides an ideal environment for my continuous growth.
Dimitrios Raptis, PGY-3 Chief Resident
With a strong interest in Endocrinology, and especially type 2 diabetes and MASLD, I am currently engaged in research activities, with a particular focus on systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
In my free time, I enjoy walking outside in the city, eating delicious food and traveling.
Why NCB? Because you get invaluable clinical experience by taking care of a medically complex population in this low socioeconomic community. The program itself provides a warm environment to grow and learn. At the same time, living in NYC offers a life rich in social, cultural and recreational opportunities, making it an ideal environment to grow both professionally and personally.
Martin McIntosh, PGY-3 Chief Resident
I’m often running both inside and outside the hospital. When I’m not chasing my dream in pulmonary and critical care medicine, you’ll likely find me outside training for a half marathon.
I am a huge Broadway fan and can also be found trying local cafes.
Why NCB? The immense support I received over the last 3 years from faculty to help me achieve both personal and professional goals.
NCB is an unforgettable place for growth.
