The second-year fellow, while continuing to develop clinical aptitude, learns new academic, administrative, and research skills. The second year fellow is also responsible for organizing the rotating resident curriculum and overseeing their didactic learning.

The fellow will have an opportunity to work with experts outside of the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, in the areas of eating disorders and sports medicine/orthopedics. Concurrently, scholarly activity continues and the fellow is expected to complete an IRB application and begin data collection on the identified research project.
