General Preventive Medicine
Residency Training Program

Application

To apply to our program, we require that you submit the following materials:

1. The Mount Sinai House Staff Application Form
2. Two (2) letters of recommendation from people who have known you in your professional capacity. By New York State law, all persons hired must have in their file a recommendation from their current employer. If circumstances preclude you from obtaining such a letter at this time, you must be prepared to furnish one later as a condition of final acceptance into the program.
3. A one or two page statement of your long-term career goals and your specific learning plan for the coming two years. Please be clear about what areas of preventive medicine you are most interested in concentrating on during residency.
4. If you are a graduate of a foreign medical school, enclose a copy of your ECFMG certificate. Indicate how many times you took the examination before passing, as required by New York State law.
5. An up-to-date curriculum vitae

While preference is given to applicants who have completed full residency training in a clinical field, applications from people with less training are welcome and are given thorough consideration. We do not, however, offer a PGY-1 year and have no arrangements with other internships. Applications from those who have not completed one year of post-graduate medical training cannot be considered. Applicants need to have a New York State medical license or be eligible to receive one.

Completed applications are reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Selected applicants are invited for interviews, which are scheduled at mutually convenient dates. Most interviews are conducted between January and March. The Departmental committee meets to rank the interviewed applicants after all interviews have been completed. For information on the status of your application, please call Program Coordinator at (212) 824-7068. Accepted applicants are automatically enrolled in the MSSM Masters of Public Health Program.
