Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai-Mount Sinai Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large, tertiary/quaternary academic anesthesiology program at a 1,200-bed Manhattan medical center performing over 65,000 anesthetics and 8,000 deliveries annually, with dedicated rotations in cardiac, transplant (170+ transplants/year), neuro, pediatric, and obstetric anesthesia, supplemented by trauma exposure at Elmhurst and chronic pain training at the VA. The program is structured around six formal "Eliasberg Scholars" tracks (Research, Clinical Educator, Teaching Scholars, Leadership and Management, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Health Equity), signaling an institutional expectation that residents pursue a defined scholarly or leadership identity alongside clinical training, not merely complete rotations. Simulation infrastructure (a dedicated high-fidelity, VR/AR-equipped lab) and subspecialty-heavy curriculum with progressive autonomy into CA-3 senior/leadership roles indicate a program built for residents aiming at competitive fellowships or academic anesthesiology careers rather than immediate community practice. The program values self-directed scholarly development, teaching capacity, and engagement with innovation/health equity initiatives as much as clinical volume.
