The nursing staff includes professional, technical and ancillary support personnel, caring for both in-patients and out-patients at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary affiliated with the New York Medical College. The nursing staff cares for approximately 142,000 cases per year in the Ambulatory Clinics and over 20,000 surgical cases are performed annually in 17 operating rooms of the 103 bed facility.

Continuing medical education programs are offered on an ongoing basis for clinical staff as well as for nursing education for affiliated university nursing programs. Many of the staff are certified in their specialties and are active in professional nursing, medical and multidisciplinary groups.

A multidisciplinary team, led by the Department of Nursing, has developed a care map (critical path) for the patient care of a radical neck dissection procedure.
