Residency Programs in Internal Medicine

Multicultural Affairs

Message from the Chairman

In the Samuel Bronfman Department of Medicine, we recognize that preparation of the best internists and subspecialists to serve the diverse communities where we live requires an equally diverse group of trainees.

Moreover, training future leaders to address racial and ethnic disparities within medicine expands Mount Sinai's and the department's talent pool and helps improve healthcare access, quality of care, and health policy for underserved communities.

To accomplish our goals, and acknowledging the fundamental right to equal opportunity, we need to attract those who historically have had difficulty entering the medical professions.

The Department of Medicine's aggressive agenda for diversity goes beyond recruitment. Programmatic innovations focus on enhancing professional experiences and growth for our faculty and house staff members from underrepresented minorities.

Research opportunities are available to address health care disparities, public policy, and issues in cultural competencies. Mount Sinai's Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs provides extensive resources to help underrepresented minorities take the next steps in career development after their residencies are completed.

The Department of Medicine is justifiably proud of its outstanding residency program. Having received unparalleled training in internal and subspecialty medicine, along with truly novel educational programs and community projects, graduates leave our program ready to lead the field in clinical medicine, education, and science or health policy.

Our graduates successfully compete for the most prestigious academic, practice, and research fellowship positions nationwide, and continue to provide leadership in their chosen fields as lifelong learners, teachers, policy experts, and researchers.

We welcome your interest in joining us and helping to further our commitment to provide the highest quality care to an exceptionally diverse patient population.

Paul Klotman, M.D.
