Message From the Director

The Mount Sinai Academy of Physician-Scientists (MAPS) connects students, residents, fellows, and faculty to physician-scientist research opportunities across the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. We serve as a centralized hub for physician-scientists training and its varied paths, funding, mentorship, and career development.

Navigate, Connect, Build

Physician-scientist training at Mount Sinai spans multiple departments, programs, and career stages, from MD-PhD students to early-career faculty navigating the transition to independence. MAPS serves as a shared entry point into this ecosystem.

We provide visibility into research training programs across Mount Sinai, help trainees identify opportunities aligned with their stage and interests, and bring physician-scientists together through programming and resources to build community across departments and training levels.

MAPS does not replace individual programs, departments, and mentors who guide physician-scientists day to day; rather we exist to make their work easier. Guided by a steering committee of senior physician-scientists representing multiple specialties, together we help ensure that every physician-scientist can move forward with clarity at every stage of their training.
