Message from the Program Director

Thank you for visiting the Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West Internal Medicine Residency Program, part of the Graduate Medical Education Program of the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City.

Our dedicated faculty, diverse patient population and state-of-the-art facility provide everything needed to develop outstanding internists and medical specialists; compassionate doctors who serve the community and whose rigorous academic training enables them to employ the latest evidence-based practices and techniques in treating the whole patient.

The program provides much more than the basics of Internal Medicine. Indeed, the objective is to train doctors who think as would a twenty-first century physician to provide the best care to each of a diverse group of patients no matter how complex the medical issue. To this end, residents receive inpatient clinical training at two large hospitals — Mount Sinai Morningside located on the Upper West Side and Mount Sinai West Hospital near Columbus Circle. Residents may also rotate through Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Outpatient rotations are at three Federally Qualified Health Care sites in Manhattan. Dedicated time is spent in our Ambulatory Care blocks, providing continuity of care for patients who in many cases have been underserved by the healthcare delivery.

Residents may also choose to conduct research and develop quality improvement projects under the guidance of faculty mentors with a view to developing a robust research portfolio and well-rounded elective education before graduation.

Finally, being part of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System brings you additional resources and opportunities. Residents may conduct clinical research and electives at sister hospitals during your second and third year and tap into the rich faculty research portfolio. The Mount Sinai Health System, the parent organization, is an integrated health system structured around seven member hospital campuses and a single medical school, giving an unprecedented breadth of system-wide exposure to the trainee and a robust continuum of care for the patients. Morningside and West are vital members of this network of hospitals.

We believe that the greatest testament to the program’s success is that so many of our graduates either remain to pursue fellowship training at our institution or return to become full-time faculty members. So whatever your plans for the future, be it a career in primary care, hospital medicine, academics, further subspecialty training or even a career in government or industry, we will provide you a solid foundation in Internal Medicine and the opportunities for development within your chosen career line.
