Faculty/Physician Profile Pages

An up-to-date faculty/physician profile is helpful to colleagues, patients, and other users so that they know where to contact you and what kind of research or clinical specialties you have. To find your profile you may search either Find a Faculty or Find a Doctor. Only those with active appointments in the Hospital appear under Find a Doctor.

To update or add to your faculty/physician profile page, please submit via e-mail to webfeedback@mssm.edu using either the Line-by-Line Method or Track Changes Method.

In the subject line of your e-mail, write "Faculty/Physician Profile," your first and last name, and Request Type (New Content or Existing Content): for example, Faculty/Physician Profile: Scott Friedman: Existing Content. Please avoid using "Web page update" or "Website update" in the subject line.

In the body of the message, include the words "Content Type: Faculty/Physician Profile" and 'Request Type: Existing Content."

See section Overview for more information on Request Types.
Content on a faculty/physician profile includes:

  1. Name, degree(s), rank, and gender
    Name, rank, and gender data come from the Appointments and Promotions Office. Please note that the Web Office cannot add or remove any of this information. If your information is incorrect or missing, please have your Department Administrator contact the Appointments and Promotions Office to resolve the matter.
  2. Contact Information
    Contact Information is grouped for display as either Business Offices or Patient Offices.

    Content Information is then further grouped by Address. Both Business and Patient Offices may include Mount Sinai campus building, example Annenberg Building; street address; floor number; room number; phone; and fax. In addition Patient Offices may include office hours; insurance plans; languages; and disabled access (yes/no).
  3. Biography
    Biography sections are for prose-style text only. Lists of clinical interests, editorial board membership, or board certification for example will not be included. This information can be included in the Biography if it is rewritten in paragraph format.
  4. Training and Education
    For physicians with active appointments in the Hospital training and education information (degrees conferred, residencies, fellowships) will be displayed as reported from Medical Staff Services. If your information is incorrect, please have your Department Administrator contact the Medical Staff Services to resolve the matter.

    For faculty with only an active appointment in the School will need to report all education and training, if it is not already included on the profile. Please include degree or level (Residency); institution.
  5. Research
    Research topics and accompanying research descriptions may be included.

    Images may also be submitted for inclusion with each research topic and description grouping. Save each image as a JPG and label each image appropriately with a name and instructions for placement (i.e., image "electron_photo" is to be inserted between paragraphs 2 and 3).
  6. Publications
    1. Citations for peer-reviewed articles, invited contributions, reviews, books, book chapters, and editorials will be accepted. Verification of the citation must be provided for accuracy; this includes photocopy/reprint of article, photocopy of title page, or start page for a book chapter. A Web address to an authority source may also be given, such as PubMed or the publisher's Website.
    2. A maximum of 10 publications will be entered. If more than 10 publications are submitted, preference to peer-reviewed articles followed by invited contributions, reviews, books, book chapters, and editorials will be given, and then by most recent publication date. Note that "in press" citations will not be entered.
    3. Publications will be replaced one-for-one for any new publications submitted for addition to your faculty profile. You should indicate which publications can be replaced; otherwise the oldest citations will be removed first.
  7. Awards
    A maximum of 10 awards will be entered.
    Be sure to provide the title of the award, institution, and year for each award that was given.
  8. Clinical Information
    Physicians with active appointments in the Hospital have additional clinical information included. Data include: Specialty, Subspecialty, Clinical Interests, and Board Certification.

    Specialties and subspecialties are defined for you by Medical Staff Services and are derived from training and certification achieved. Board Certification lists the specialties in which you are certified. Concerns about specialty and subspecialty designations should be sent to webfeedback@mssm.edu.

    Clinical Interests, limited to 10, supplement your specialty information and are vetted by department chairs. For a list of Clinical Interests or other concerns, please contact webfeedback@mssm.edu.
