Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine

Fellowship in General Internal Medicine

Research Training

central objective of the fellowship program is the successful design, implementation, and completion of a research project suitable for publication in peer-reviewed journals as well as presentation of research findings at regional and national meetings, such as those of the Society of General Internal Medicine, Academy Health, and the American Medical Informatics Association. In addition to the didactic training described above, fellows’ research skills are nurtured through a variety of mechanisms. Based on their research interests, fellows establish close working relationships with mentors in the Division of General Internal Medicine and/or mentors in other departments and divisions at Mount Sinai. The fellowship programs of the Division of General Internal Medicine and the Division of General Pediatrics conduct a bimonthly research seminar for fellows. These seminars provide trainees with a supportive, informal environment for discussing research from the early stages of project development to the last stages of data analysis. The experience helps sharpen research ideas, broaden knowledge of research methods, develop public speaking and data presentation skills, and enjoy the collegiality of the clinical research community. Faculty leaders of the general medicine fellowship meet regularly with fellows to provide general support and career mentorship.
