The Department of Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System is one of the largest and most prestigious academic training grounds in the United States. We continue to create a dynamic department that upholds groundbreaking translational research and exceptional clinical outcomes.
The Health System’s largest department, the Department of Medicine comprises more than 1,800 full-time faculty members and voluntary physicians, all of whom are affiliated with at least one of our hospitals. With robust grant funding of more than $135 million from the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Medicine is ranked among the top 15 medical school departments of its kind in the United States, according to the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research.
Mount Sinai’s Department of Medicine attracts some of the world’s most talented medical students and trainees who seek to be taught by leading experts, many of whom have pioneered landmark therapies and treatments that are routinely used by their peers around the globe. Throughout its rich history of serving New Yorkers from all socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds for more than 170 years, Mount Sinai’s Department of Medicine is committed to scientific research and clinical breakthroughs so that each and every one of our patients has the best possible outcomes, while teaching and exposing our students, residents, and fellows to the most advanced medical techniques, state-of-the-art technology, and vigorous academic and training curricula.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are at the forefront of our work in the Department of Medicine. We take pride in our ability and commitment to identify and recruit faculty and trainees who are from groups often underrepresented in medicine so we can remain strategically innovative in medicine while improving the care we provide to the communities we serve.
Whether you are a current or prospective patient, physician, researcher, resident, fellow, graduate student, or supporter, this report will allow you to discover and gain a taste of some of the most prominent clinical and research advances in the Department of Medicine.
