Robert Schiller, MD Andreas Cohrssen, MD Welcome!

Welcome to the exciting world of Family Medicine in New York City. At the Mount Sinai Downtown Residency in Urban Family Medicine, we offer an innovative training program for those who want to make a difference for America’s most medically underserved individuals. We are committed to the provision of comprehensive, coordinated, and culturally‐competent care to our community, and we are devoted to providing our residents with the tools, skills, and vision necessary to become excellent clinicians and patient advocates.

New York City has been a safe harbor for waves of immigrants, creating a rich fabric of diverse neighborhoods. We serve a broad array of patients, spanning many cultures, ages, and socioeconomic groups, including those who are uninsured. Our residents care for, and act as advocates for, our patients and their communities.

Our program trains residents for leadership positions in a complex urban setting. We pride ourselves on the breadth of training opportunities we provide. Our health center employs the most innovative health information technology available to promote preventive care and health information exchange, including a patient portal in English and Spanish. Our advanced technology enabled residents to quickly provide telemedicine as an option for serving patients as the Covid‐19 pandemic emerged.

Our residents are deeply involved in community outreach, and they participate in a grant‐funded school health clinic program at a high school just a few blocks away. Residents are also trained to provide comprehensive women’s health care, including the provision of a full scope of contraceptive options. In addition, Integrative Medicine training is fully incorporated into the curriculum. We offer you the opportunity to reinvigorate and reinvent health care in New York City as a resident in our program. Come join us.

Sincerely,

Robert Schiller, MD Andreas Cohrssen, MD Chair, Alfred and Gail Engelberg Program Director Department of Family Medicine, Mount Sinai Senior Vice President, The Institute for Family Health

About Our Organization

The Mount Sinai Downtown Residency in Urban Family Medicine has long been a vibrant family medicine anchor in Manhattan. The program is a collaboration between the Mount Sinai Health System, the Alfred and Gail Engelberg Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), and the Institute for Family Health.

The Program’s home and ambulatory training site is at the Institute for Family Health’s West 17th Street Health Center, located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. Residents of the ISMMS Downtown Residency Program in Urban Family Medicine (formally the Mount Sinai Beth Israel Program) complete their inpatient training rotations in pediatrics, obstetrics and adult medicine at The Mount Sinai Hospital. This internationally acclaimed tertiary care facility with 1,134 beds provides superb training for our inpatient service, which is jointly operated by the Mount Sinai Downtown Residency and its sister program, the Harlem Residency in Family Medicine. Residents from both programs share inpatient call responsibilities.

In a unique academic partnership, the Institute for Family Health operates Mount Sinai’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and the Mount Sinai Downtown Residency in Urban Family Practice sponsored by ISMMS. The Institute is a non‐profit organization founded in 1983 with a mission to increase access to high‐quality primary care services to medically underserved populations, which includes training a health care workforce attuned to the needs of these populations. As a federally qualified community health center (FQHC) network, the Institute meets national standards for affordable, accessible, and comprehensive health care services. The Institute is accredited by the Joint Commission and has been designated a Level 3 patient‐centered medical home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, the highest recognition available. It has also won numerous national awards for the innovative use of health information technology in the service of the underserved.

Our Mission

The mission of the ISMMS Downtown Residency in Urban Family Medicine is to prepare family physicians to serve as leaders in urban health care. The family medicine model of care is based on a holistic approach to health that integrates psychological, social, economic, and environmental determinants of health with biomedical factors. Our residency program builds upon the comprehensive approach of family medicine with an emphasis on the particular needs of medically underserved communities. The population we serve is diverse and requires a specialized skill set. Cultural competency is crucial to providing optimal care for our patients. We are proud of our residents’ skill and professionalism in addressing the challenges of the covid‐19 pandemic. As family physician residents, they are learning to provide comprehensive primary care to our diverse patients through telehealth and in‐person visits as well as state‐of‐the‐art inpatient care supported by advanced clinical and biomedical research. Our goal is to train our residents to provide the best possible care to our community so that our patients can live healthy and productive lives.
