Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida, Inc Program

Program Identity & Fit

Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida's Anesthesiology Residency is a community-based, hospital-affiliated program in Miami Beach with informal ties to the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital anesthesiology program, reflecting a strong regional Florida and Latin American clinical faculty base. The CA-1 through CA-3 curriculum follows a traditional structure emphasizing one-on-one preceptor learning early on, progressive complexity in caseload, and required subspecialty rotations in cardiac, pediatric, obstetric, neuro, pain, and critical care anesthesia. In the CA-3 year, residents choose between an advanced clinical track for further procedural and subspecialty consolidation or a clinical scientist track allowing up to six months of research culminating in a publication-oriented project with regional/national conference presentation. The program's faculty composition, largely trained at Venezuelan, Central American, and local Florida institutions, together with an emphasis on hands-on preceptor mentorship, suggests a program valuing clinical competency, steady skill-building, and practical readiness over overt academic prestige.
