Faculty Development
 he
fellowship strives to prepare trainees for the transition from resident
to faculty member. In addition to research, this preparation includes
the development of teaching skills, participation in faculty development
conferences and continued development of clinical skills.
Teaching
Fellows precept medical residents for one three-hour session each
week in the outpatient clinic of The Mount Sinai Hospital. Depending
on their area of interest, fellows may also participate in curriculum
development for house staff and teach in various seminars offered
to medical house staff during ambulatory block months, including
Evidence-Based Medicine rounds. Opportunities exist as well for
teaching medical students in inpatient, outpatient and classroom
settings. As for inpatient teaching, during the second year of
the program fellows attend on an inpatient ward for two two-week
blocks.
Direct Patient Care
Fellows follow a panel of outpatients during a single three-hour
clinic session each week. The Internal Medicine Associates (IMA)
Clinic is a modern, hospital-based continuity clinic and is the
practice site for all internal medicine faculty and residents.
The faculty and fellows offices are conveniently located in the
IMA building. Opportunities also exist to participate in general
medicine subspecialty clinics, such as women’s health and
geriatrics.
