As one of the few fellowship programs in the country focused on the care of LGBTQ+ patients, the LGBTQ+ Medicine Fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is a 12-month fellowship. We take a holistic approach that encompasses medical, non-medical, and surgical training. The program is housed within the Institute for Advanced Medicine and has several clinic sites in Manhattan. We accept one fellow each year.
Our overarching goal is to comprehensively train LGBTQ+ health experts who transcend the subspecialty silos that often cause clinical care gaps and patient frustration. We strive to train our fellows to proactively seek ways to understand and meet the specific needs of LGBTQ+ people. Training a new generation of health care providers who can help break down barriers for the LGBTQ+ community is one of the most powerful weapons we have against the health inequities and injustice facing this community. The LGBTQ+ Medicine Fellowship will make health care more accessible, sensitive, and effective, so LGBTQ+ people can live longer, happier, and healthier lives.
