The Internal Medicine Residency Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital produces premier physicians and physician-scientists through personalized training that emphasizes intellectual curiosity, compassion, and camaraderie. Our primary goal is to graduate internists who deliver excellent patient care, think critically, and lead in academic medicine and beyond.

We recognize that one-size-fits-all training no longer meets the needs of modern physicians. Divergent career paths—including outpatient primary care or specialty practice, hospital medicine, clinical and translational research, as well as global health—require focused attention during residency. Our program offers multiple structured pathways that allow physicians-in-training to align their training experience to their own passions and career plans.

Our graduates finish with a solidly grounded education in evidence-based medicine, which is supported by completing a research project. Working alongside renowned basic science and translational researchers, they make strides in areas such as inflammation, precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and the integration of big data into population health management. Many publish in major scientific journals and present at national and international conferences.

Our training spans three complementary clinical sites. Approximately two-thirds of our training is based at The Mount Sinai Hospital, which provides tertiary care to patients with uniquely complex medical problems, as well as primary and secondary care for the Upper East Side and East Harlem communities. Additional training takes place at the James J. Peters Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in the Bronx and the NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, providing exposure to diverse patient populations, health systems, and models of care.  

If your personal and career goals include a desire to make a difference in the lives of your patients, and you possess the passion to help your community while contributing to the advancement of medicine, we hope you will consider joining us in our mission.
