Personal Statement

I started college to pursue interests in the humanities, but have always had an interest in the quantitative sciences, as I believe the pursuit of knowledge requires an appreciation of the contributions of both. I have had the privilege of engaging my interests while serving others in various practice settings, including inner-city hospitals, community health centers, the Indian Health Service, and finally private practice in New York City, where I have treated patients from a large social spectrum.

Medicine is changing at a rate that was inconceivable when I was a resident. It is challenging to keep abreast of and to implement appropriately new developments, but it is appealing to deepen my understanding of the human body and mind. When I see patients, I am humbly reminded that the people who come to me have granted me privileged access to their lives, bodies, and thoughts. I hope I reciprocate with comparable respect. To the best of my ability, I offer what experience I have gained, not just during times of illness, but to help other people lead healthy, productive lives.

Biographical Info

Dr. Emy grew up in the Bronx. He studied History and Literature at Harvard College and received his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He completed residency training at Montefiore Medical Center. Following several itinerant years of locum tenens assignments, he realized that there truly is no place like home and returned to New York City, where he practices general internal medicine. He feels it is important to treat and understand the whole person on the basis of the best available evidence and takes interest in all areas of internal medicine.
