The Division of Rheumatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has a long tradition of clinical excellence, patient care and education for medical students, medicine residents and in-training rheumatology fellows. The merger with Beth Israel, St. Luke’s and West increased the number of rheumatologist in the system from five to 15 and will enable a faster expansion and standardization of patient care, as well as easier patient access to cutting-edge rheumatology care. As a result, the number of referrals to rheumatology and patient visits has significantly increased across the Mount Sinai Health System.
