  • Psychiatry Residency + Phd Track
    Psychiatry Residency + PhD Track Psychiatry Residency + PhD Track The Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai has been awarded NIMH support for this extraordinary and groundbreaking program—unique in the nation—offering a 2nd path to MD/PhD training for up to 2 residents per year. Designed for residents ready to commit to both psychiatry and research, the “PhD+” program longitudinally integrates clinical and research training over 7 years. It also offers the possibility of substantial financial advantages through NIH’s Loan Repayment Program (up to $35,000 per year for up to 6 years). As the fields of neuroscience and genetics have advanced in knowledge base and research strategies and techniques, PhD-level training may be a necessity for both effective translational research and obtaining research funding. Unfortunately, the number of psychiatrist MD/PhD researchers is small. Additionally, while the NIH has long supported Medical Scientist Training Programs, the established method of combined MD/PhD training is inefficient, in that the period of intense research and PhD completion is followed by many years of clinical training, meaning a long separation from research, a decline in research skills, a distance from the knowledge base and collaborators, and a need to retrain after residency. Our PhD+ track participates as Residency + PhD (1490400C3) in the offerings of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s Psychiatry Residency Training Program, so that applicants may enter the program via the NRMP as PGY-1s. Current PGY-1s may also transfer into this track, from within our residency or from elsewhere. The PhD+ program consists of 5 components: 1) Completion of all clinical rotations/experiences required for Board Certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; attendance at core didactics of the Residency Program.

  • GERIATRIC MEDICINE What Is Geriatric Medicine?
    GERIATRIC MEDICINE What is Geriatric Medicine? Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on health promotion, prevention, and diagnosis and treatment of disease and disability in older adults. In recent surveys, geriatricians are among the most satisfied physicians in terms of their choice of specialty. Geriatrics offers a wide diversity of career options and is a clinically and intellectually rewarding discipline given the medical complexity of older adults. Geriatricians reap the rewards of making a difference in a patient’s level of independence, well- being and quality of life. With the rapid growth of the older population in the United States, there is a pressing demand for physicians with specialized training in geriatrics. ama-assn.org/specialty/geriatric-medicine The Birth of “Geriatric” Medicine • In 1909, Austrian born physician, Ignatz Leo Nascher coined the term “geriatrics” for care of the elderly, explaining, “Geriatrics, from geras, old age, and iatrikos, relating to the physician, is a term I would suggest as an addition to our vocabulary, to cover the same field in old age that is covered by the term pediatrics in childhood, to emphasize the necessity of considering senility and its disease apart from maturity and to assign it a separate place in medicine.” • Until Nascher’s time, older adults were not treated differently or in different ways than other adult patients. Social forces came into play in the period during WWI and WWII that both necessitated and facilitated long-term care for the elderly: The number of elderly people began to increase due to improvements in economic conditions and medicine.

Policymakers have demonstrated a long-standing interest in Specialist in Health access to care, both in general and for specific populations. Moreover, federal support Services for medical residency training (a.k.a., graduate medical education [GME]) is the largest source of federal support for the health care workforce. Although the health workforce Bryce H. P.
