“I’m incredibly grateful for my training here at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West. What set it apart from many other programs for me was the supportive and collaborative environment. The support from my attendings, co-residents, and Dr. Mahoney cultivated the ideal space for me to grow not only into a competent physician, but also into a better person. My time here helped me develop a true passion for regional anesthesia. That interest grew even more during a program-funded mission trip to Zambia, where I worked in a resource-limited setting and gained insight into how anesthesia is delivered in such environments.”

“Reflecting on my time at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West, two things stand out beyond the program’s excellent clinical training and learning environment. First, I truly feel that I have found a second family among my co-residents and faculty. Second, our program is exceptionally flexible and supportive of residents’ individual interests and pursuits. I have been deeply involved in work outside of clinical care, including serving as an education track resident and participating in multiple quality improvement and research projects, despite having limited prior experience in these areas during medical school. The resident tracks are intentionally adaptable, allowing you to shape them around your interests.”

“When applying to residency, I wanted to find a space where I could grow to be an exceptional anesthesiologist, learning in an encouraging and open environment. Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West have provided that by fostering a culture of approachable faculty, early independence, and resident mentorship. Through this culture, I have been able to learn both formally and informally. Our education for residents includes a mixture of practical intraoperative teaching, lecture-based learning provided by faculty in the mornings, Grand Rounds every week with a monthly guest speaker, and independently directed learning. Our lectures are all faculty-provided and extremely flexible, ranging from simulation sessions to case-based discussions while fulfilling individual resident lecture requests, especially in the time before exams.”

“From my first day, I’ve felt welcomed and supported as part of the Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West anesthesia family. The culture here is one of encouragement and mentorship, with senior residents and faculty who are deeply invested in both our professional and personal growth.

Having access to such dedicated mentors and a flexible, supportive environment has made my residency experience both fulfilling and empowering.”

“Residents at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West are members of the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR), a nationwide union. In my role as a delegate to CIR, I represent our department during the contract negotiation process and advocate for my peers by sharing concerns with labor management leadership. I’ve helped my co-residents by obtaining quick resolutions for housing issues, involving CIR’s legal department for immigration matters, and navigating our benefits plan.”

“Intern year at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West allows you to collaborate with nearly every service, creating an early foundation for the relationships you’ll work alongside throughout your anesthesia training. My main responsibility is to learn as much as possible, all while getting opportunities to do research, study, and be a part of unions and hospital leadership. Residents are excited to be a part of this, and the faculty are consistently engaged in teaching. This program is special because it supports you for being yourself. I feel so at home, learning so many new things, surrounded by a team that feels the same way.”
