The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to train in world-class settings in the heart of New York City. We care for an incredibly diverse patient population with a wide range of diseases across the two hospitals: Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West. The Divisions of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West have always been at the center of educational innovation. We are dedicated to a hands-on mastery learning approach to education by integrating simulation-based education with bedside learning and traditional didactics. This approach has led to our fellows developing expertise and teaching in the areas of airway management, code and rapid response team management, and point-of care ultrasonography. Our core curriculum features a novel “flipped classroom” structure that is highly engaging for fellows and faculty alike. Our faculty is dedicated to the education of our fellows and helps to create a collegial and supportive learning environment.

We are committed to training physicians to become leaders in pulmonary and critical care medicine by integrating excellence in patient care, innovative education, research training, and leadership opportunities. Once you complete the core requirements for certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine, we offer the flexibility to develop an individualized pathway to meet your career goals. Our fellows have used this time to advance their clinical expertise, develop teaching and leadership skills, participate in system-wide quality improvement projects, and complete scholarly projects.
