Message from the Director

The Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Our current sleep faculty include: Drs. Indu Ayappa, Jason Bronstein (Pediatrics), Oren Cohen, Emmanuel During (Neurology), Boris Gilyadov, Vincent Grbach, Jay Guevarra,  Vaishnavi Kundel, Fred Lin (ENT), David Rapoport, Helena Schotland, Neomi Shah, Mira Tadros, Thomas Tolbert, Andrew Varga (Neurology), and Jing Wang. Together this multidisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians will provide a unique fellowship experience with robust training in a variety of sleep medicine domains including: in-lab and home sleep diagnostics, inpatient and outpatient clinical sleep medicine, dental sleep medicine, sleep surgery, along with weekly conferences and mentored research opportunities. The sleep fellowship program nurtures the development of an academic career while simultaneously providing excellent clinical education and training in sleep medicine. Our fellowship is a highly competitive one-year program with an optional second year through a Multidisciplinary T32 Sleep Research Training Grant for those interested in research. We select two fellows per year to whom we provide personalized training to shape them into future academic leaders in Sleep Medicine.
