  • 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 Transformation of Mount Sinai Beth Israel June 8th Presentation before PHHPC 1 Building to Meet Our Communities' Needs Mount Sinai Health System: Who We Are . Integrated Health System of 7 hospitals with more than 200 community locations . Anchored by a medical school . More than 150,000 inpatient admissions and more than 3 million outpatient visits . More than 2,000 residents – the largest teaching program in the country . 38,000 employees and 7,000 physicians . Provides significant care for Medicaid, Medicare, and patients eligible for financial assistance . Mount Sinai is 100% committed to serving all of their patients regardless of their financial situation 4+ million patient visits Largest Teaching Program in the U.S. 2 Building to Meet Our Communities' Needs The Reality at Mount Sinai Beth Israel . An aging and outmoded infrastructure . A rapidly decreasing inpatient census – dropping roughly 10% annually since 2012 . On average, more than 50% of the hospital’s licensed beds are unoccupied . MSBI has sustained losses of $350 Million over the past 4 years; if it were a stand-alone hospital, it would have already run out of cash . Rebuilding MSBI would require a $1.3 billion investment and ultimately not meet community’s evolving need for local access to care 3 Building to Meet Our Communities' Needs Trends in Healthcare . Hospital use is declining as patients get more care in non-hospital settings . 18 NYC hospitals closed over the past 13 years; many others are financially strapped . Government is prioritizing funding for coordinated care and treating patients in non- hospital settings . The rate of overall empty beds in NYC has increased in the past several years, despite hospital closures New York Hospitals in Critical Condition as Deficit Looms: Hospital stays citywide dropped over 5 percent between 2012 and 2014.

  • Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai
    ADDICTION INSTITUTE OF MOUNT SINAI Paving the way for recovery and rejuvenation across New York City Tailored treatments for sustained recovery Addiction is one of the most complex and costly neuropsychiatric diseases. More than 40 million Americans have a substance use disorder—far more than other medical conditions such as heart problems, diabetes, and cancer. Research has consistently shown that addiction is a brain disorder, and is not due to weakness or lack of discipline. Still, the stigma surrounding substance abuse prevents people from seeking treatment, which leads to widespread and preventable hospitalizations and mortality. Treatment works, but it’s not one size fits all. We collaborate with you and your family to create an individualized treatment plan for your specific needs using therapy, medication, or a combination of both. We cover treatment across the lifespan including in utero (by treating pregnant women), adolescence, adulthood, and geriatric populations. We have several locations across New York City offering a variety of treatment services. If you or a loved one need help, we’re here for you. We don’t turn anyone away, and we don’t remove people from our programs if they are unable to maintain sobriety. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your recovery journey.
