Welcome to the Mount Sinai Department of Neurology! We hope to offer you a glimpse of the rich learning environment, cutting-edge research, and world-class patient care that make the Mount Sinai Neurology Residency an exceptional, foundational experience for each resident who graduates from our program.
We share a deep commitment to providing an extraordinary educational experience to every resident in our program. We know that every one of our residents has the potential to make meaningful, unique contributions to the field; it is our responsibility to provide the support and guidance that will enable them to reach their highest aspirations.
From the first day, we consider our residents to be colleagues. Each resident plays a vital role as a clinician, teacher, and collaborator. We also consider every resident as an accomplished physician in the context of a full, balanced life; resident wellness is a chief focus of our program.
We believe mentorship is crucial during residency, and we have a well-established mentoring program. Many of the faculty with whom our residents work also completed their training here and have built their careers in our department. At the same time, our diverse department prides itself on recruiting top academic, clinical, and research faculty from around the country and world whose expertise powerfully enhances the education of our residents. We expect our residents’ interests to expand or evolve as they progress through the program; thus, their mentorship team needs to evolve, as well. We work to identify additional mentors to support each resident’s chosen path throughout.
We expect all residents to participate in some form of research during their training. For those planning research-focused careers, the Friedman Brain Institute provides unsurpassed opportunities for academic engagement. A myriad of research opportunities also exists in other areas such as education scholarship, quality improvement, and resident wellness. Our residents are highly productive, and they regularly present and publish their impactful work.
We are looking for residents who demonstrate professionalism, intellectual inquisitiveness, and a real passion for neurology. Most important, we are seeking those who desire to give the very best in evidence-based, compassionate care to every patient they encounter. Thank you for your interest in our program.
