Why Choose Mount Sinai?
Our combined Hematology/Medical Oncology training program is 36 months in duration, of which 18 months are dedicated to providing a broad exposure to the clinical practice of the field through both, inpatient and outpatient rotations. Rotations have been formulated to provide maximal educational content and to promote scholarly discussion and debate among fellows, faculty and allied health professionals. The second 18 months of the fellowship program is devoted to protected, mentored research time. By the end of the first year of fellowship, fellows identify an area of interest and a mentor. During their research time, fellows learn skills relevant to their area of research interest and conduct one or more longitudinal research projects in that area. Ultimately, graduating fellows will have a portfolio of written and presented work and will be equipped to apply for mentored (and ultimately independent) grant funding and establish careers as independent investigators. Fellows can choose to focus in basic science, translational, clinical trials, outcomes, quality improvement, or medical education research.

Location
With two major campuses dedicated to training Hematology/Medical Oncology fellows, Mount Sinai allows for access to an amazingly diverse patient population. This offers you a unique opportunity for your training—one that most physicians do not experience in their entire careers. It also provides training, education, and supervision by a large faculty with a broad and diverse experience and interests. And of course, as a fellow at Mount Sinai you can live in New York City-one of the greatest, most diverse and exciting cities in the world.
Our fellows are provided the opportunity to qualify for subsidized housing near Mount Sinai West Hospital on the West side through the Mount Sinai Real Estate Services Department. However, not everyone wishes to live around their workplace and we make sure that our work and training schedule allows for our fellows to commute and reside anywhere in New York City and surrounding area. For more information, please go to our Graduate Medical Education Office's housing website or link directly to the housing policy.
