The Mount Sinai Morningside/BronxCare Cardiology Program offers a unique blend of outstanding cardiology training at two historic and dynamic medical centers. Our program operates according to four core values.
First, we seek to train outstanding clinicians who develop the confidence to treat all cardiac emergencies, supervise Critical Care Cardiology settings, manage chronic cardiac conditions, and become skilled in the practice of Preventive Cardiology. This goal is fostered by our outstanding and highly committed teaching faculty, the high acuity of our patient population, the full spectrum of diseases seen within our cardiac in-patient, ED, and out-patient settings, and the unique opportunity to train at two medical centers which differ markedly in their racial, ethnic, and social make-up.
Second, we place a premium on teamwork and character. One of our goals is that our fellows will become lifelong friends with their colleagues. We believe that a happy team and welcoming environment is essential for optimizing learning and patient care. We seek to recruit fellows who value and fit into our concept of teamwork and character.
Third, we foster leadership. There have never been more opportunities and a greater need for graduates who will contribute to the greater good of medicine, whether in terms of clinical practice, working within medical institutions, or seeking to promote healthy communities and population health. To this end, we provide each fellow an opportunity for leadership work in the second and third year of their fellowship.
Finally, we value academic activity and seek to teach our fellows how to critically evaluate the academic literature. The latter should become a lifelong skill of every cardiologist. To this end, fellows have the opportunity to take advantage of the full academic potential of the Mount Sinai Health System, and strong mentorship is available for fellows who are interested in academic research.
If you value our clinical mission, we look forward to your application for our program. Sincerely,
Alan Rozanski, M.D., FACC, FASNC, DiplABLM
