Student Work Hours

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is responsible for providing and promoting student well-being and patient safety in a supportive educational environment. The student work hours policy clarifies the requirements and protection of medical students regarding the mandatory hours they are required to work during clinical and elective rotations. With this policy in place, it ensures that our students can learn and actively participate while balancing study, rest, and personal time.
