The Inside Track

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai encompasses an exceptional array of training and research opportunities. Supported by our Centers of Excellence, research institutes, laboratories, partnerships, and affiliated practices, our students enjoy extensive possibilities to develop their own professional passions.

Our faculty are fully accessible, with open lines of communication. Our structure enables us to be nimble, and our enduring connection to wide-ranging patient communities support us as we apply groundbreaking science in the service of society.

We view our students as partners. From launching grassroots movements to establishing key programs, time and again, they prove just how driven they are to advance public health. Our medical students envisioned the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, a student-run, free clinic for the underserved. Our graduate students created Mentoring in Neuroscience Discovery at Sinai (MINDS), an initiative that promotes neuroscience education, building enthusiasm among local K-12 students. Together we weave research, education, and service into every aspect of our shared work.

Innovative Learning

For more than half a century, our forward-thinking approach has earned us a reputation for integrity, discovery, altruism, and clinical excellence. In keeping with these values, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has several programs for you to choose from, including:

Dual degree tracks that combine medical training with study in research and public health.
U.S. Military Institutional Partnership, which allows enlisted men and women, as well as officers, provisional acceptance to the Icahn School of Medicine.

Our curricula also includes built-in flextime, which is protected time students devote to self-directed study and discovery, patient-centered experiential learning, community participation, and other essentials for future practitioners and thought leaders. Though our program is rigorous, our students have endless custom choices, and we encourage you to forge your own path forward.
