Message From the Director

Located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the Radiation Oncology Residency Program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers a depth and breadth of experience. Our program provides residents with exposure to a wide range of patients in unique clinical environments. Residents rotate at multiple sites throughout Manhattan, learning from dedicated attendings in diverse neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character. Moreover, The Mount Sinai Hospital is one of only three New York hospitals that are part of the New York Proton Consortium, offering our residents the opportunity to train in this state-of-the-art modality.

Our program is anchored by three main goals:

  • To train our residents to be outstanding radiation oncologists
  • To mobilize the strengths of our Department and Mount Sinai to allow residents to achieve their personalized goals in radiation oncology and beyond
  • To advance the field of radiation oncology forward into the next generation

In addition to our strong clinical training programs, Icahn Mount Sinai provides unparalleled research opportunities. Our institution has tremendous resources to facilitate projects and initiatives that improve the lives of patients. We have a proven track record of supporting residents who have graduated as independent, well-funded researchers. We also encourage our residents to write and open their own protocols, fostering a spirit of innovation and discovery.

We invite you to learn more about our Department, faculty, and residents. Discover how our program can help you achieve your goals and make a lasting impact in the field of radiation oncology.
