The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Infectious Diseases Fellowship is committed to providing our fellows with diversified experiences in clinical infectious disease, research, and medical education in preparation to thrive in their future careers. Mount Sinai is a large health care system with multiple clinical sites and research programs throughout New York City. Our fellowship program provides comprehensive infectious disease training at The Mount Sinai Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital, where fellows gain experience in HIV medicine, general and emerging infectious diseases, and transplant infectious diseases. Core rotations also take place at Elmhurst Hospital Center, a public safety-net hospital in the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in the nation where fellows gain experience evaluating infections in immigrants and travelers.
We also provide mentored research opportunities in basic science, translational, and clinical research and have expanding programs such as the Clinical and Translational Research Center and IAM. With the support of program leadership and structured mentorship committees, fellows are able to connect with mentors early in their training. This fosters a productive and collaborative environment to pursue research projects and quality improvement initiatives in areas that align with their individual interests.
Our clinical and research curriculum is complemented by a cutting-edge educational curriculum that includes clinical case conferences, microbiology rounds, infectious diseases grand rounds, and journal club. Our grand rounds host expert speakers from Mount Sinai and external institutions who are often internationally recognized leaders on a broad range of clinical and scientific topics. In addition to this, our fellows have protected educational time each week during an Academic Half Day that features a comprehensive didactic lecture series, clinical reasoning conferences, deliberate practice exercises, mentoring sessions, wellness sessions, and more.
In addition to a well-rounded and innovative curriculum, what truly sets us apart is the camaraderie and esprit de corps that are tangible across our training program and division. When you match into our fellowship, you join our infectious disease family and will be surrounded by colleagues who are passionate about infectious diseases and who foster a deep sense of intellectual curiosity in the relentless pursuit of providing top-notch clinical care and research innovation to the communities we serve.
Thank you for your interest and we hope you will apply to our program!
