  • The Urology Residency Program of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
    THE UROLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM OF THE ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI Overview The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Urology Residency Program is an ACGME-accredited program with a training format consisting of one year of preliminary training in general surgery followed by four years of urology. Its home institution is The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. The program is currently approved for a complement of five residents per training year. The program curriculum assures that over the course of training, every resident receives ample experience and didactic grounding in all of the core domains and techniques of urology while acquiring the professional skills and competencies that are characteristic of excellent physicians. Each of the rotations that comprise the curriculum include experience in both in-patient and out- patient treatment settings, with selected rotations offering concentrated experience in areas such as pediatric urology, urodynamics, endourology, female urology, infertility and oncology. An overarching schedule of conferences (led by faculty, fellow residents and guest lecturers), collaborative research projects and support for participation in professional organizations and special programs knit the residents’ clinical experience into the fabric of current urologic scholarship. Our home and affiliated institutions offer an immersive experience in three distinct health care delivery models: the tertiary care academic medical center, the community hospital and the municipal hospital system. Our graduates finish the program with an enviable understanding of the options that are open to them, and well equipped to pursue the urology careers of their choosing. Home and Affiliated Institutions The Mount Sinai Health System consists of seven hospital campuses, each of them a venerable New York institution, located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

    2020-2021 Neurology Training at The Mount Sinai Hospital “The moment I stepped into the sun and tree-filled atrium of Mount Sinai Hospital, I knew I wanted to train here. The architectural thoughtfulness provides a respite for patients, families, and staff. In a similar way, the importance of emotional well-being is recognized by our program leaders. While residency is inherently challenging, our faculty cultivate a culture of support. During my Mount Sinai interview dinner, I remember overhearing several residents offer to cover an overnight shift for another resident so she could attend a family wedding. The kindness of my fellow residents and the beauty of our hospital inspire me every day.” – Bridget Mueller, Class of 2019 Contacts Barbara Vickrey, MD, MPH System Chair, Department of Neurology [email protected] Aaron Miller, MD Vice Chair for Education, Department of Neurology [email protected] Michelle Fabian, MD Residency Program Director [email protected] Laura K.
