• Official transcript(s) for programs where a degree was earned.
• One letter of recommendation (preferably from a supervisor who can attest directly to your professionalism and leadership capabilities).
• A personal statement (maximum 500 words) that explains why you want to assume broader leadership responsibilities, what knowledge you would expect to derive from this program, and how you hope to apply it to critical strategic issues (such as quality improvement, increase in value, etc.) in your current professional setting and home institution.

Individuals who are from groups historically underrepresented in health care leadership are encouraged to apply to our program. We are committed to improving the diversity of our students, trainees, and faculty. All decisions are made on merit and without consideration of race, gender, color, creed, age, national origin, handicap, veteran status, marital status, or sexual orientation.

International Applicants

We encourage applications from qualified individuals, regardless of country of origin or where you received your academic and research training. Graduates from foreign colleges or universities who have completed an academic program equivalent to an American bachelor’s degree are eligible to apply. Following both government and school regulated processes, admissions requirements include:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or testing equivalent with a score of 100 or higher, or equivalent (such as IELTS, CAE, PTE), only if you are from a non-English-speaking country and did not earn a degree from an English-speaking university or curriculum. Applicants submitting IELTS scores (minimum score of 7.5) must send them directly to our admissions office at the following address:

Director of Admissions Processing and Systems
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

One Gustave L. Levy Place, Box 1002
New York, New York 10029

• Transcripts from colleges and universities outside the United States and Canada must be evaluated and translated by World Education Services or the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).

After reviewing your application and ensuring requirements are met, our team conducts a comprehensive evaluation based on your academic record, professional experiences, leadership capabilities, major accomplishments, and personal motivation.
