At the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), we have formed clinical- and education-focused affiliations with medical institutions throughout New York City, Long Island, and Westchester. These affiliations allow our students, faculty, and trainees to practice in diverse arenas that strengthen their clinical and educational skills.
Elmhurst Hospital Center
The Elmhurst Hospital Center (EHC) is a major teaching affiliate of ISMMS. The Center is a 531-bed hospital that provides primary, secondary, and tertiary medical care for the culturally diverse residents of western Queens, New York. It is one of the 11 acute care hospitals in New York City’s municipal health care system.
The physicians at Elmhurst Hospital Center have been playing a significant role in teaching our students since ISMMS opened its doors in 1968. EHC provides a rich variety of clinical training opportunities for the School’s medical students, who rotate through the Center for clinical clerkships and electives.
In addition, Elmhurst Hospital Center is a member of the Icahn School of Medicine Consortium for Graduate Medical Education, and most ISMMS residency and fellowship programs offer rotations here. Meanwhile, ISMMS-sponsored residency training programs are offered at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Gastroenterology, Internal Medicine, Nephrology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine.

The Brooklyn Hospital Center
The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC), located in downtown Brooklyn, New York, provides a range of inpatient and outpatient services to the community. The academic affiliation between the Icahn School of Medicine and TBHC was formed in 2014, with a focus on education.
We help to develop, and at times, sponsor, TBHC residency and fellowship training programs. We also consider TBHC residents for ISMMS fellowship programs based on each candidate’s appropriate qualifications. ISMMS medical students take part in clerkships, electives, and other programs developed between the two institutions.

The academic affiliation between Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center and the Icahn School of Medicine became effective on January 1, 2016.
