  • 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.

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.

  • Broadband and the Digital Divide
    Legislative Affairs One Whitehall Street New York, NY 10004 212-607-3300 www.nyclu.org Testimony of Allie Bohm On Behalf of the New York Civil Liberties Union Before the New York City Council Committee on Technology and Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises Regarding Oversight: Broadband and the Digital Divide October 13, 2020 The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is grateful for the opportunity to submit the following testimony regarding broadband and the digital divide. The NYCLU, the New York State affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, is a not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization with eight offices across the state and over 180,000 members and supporters. The NYCLU defends and promotes the fundamental principles and values embodied in the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and the New York Constitution through an integrated program of litigation, legislative advocacy, public education, and community organizing. Due to COVID-19, for the last seven months, New Yorkers have been living much of our lives online. Even as New York City slowly re-opens, many continue to rely on the internet to work, attend school, go to the doctor, seek entertainment, and visit with loved ones. Unfortunately, New Yorkers do not all have access to the high-speed internet that would allow us to participate in a hearing like this. Against this backdrop, the Committee and Subcommittee’s focus on broadband and the digital divide is particularly timely. Digital Redlining Across the five boroughs, between 17 and 20 percent of New Yorkers lack internet access.1 Predictably, the brunt of the digital divide falls on particular communities.
