Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai-Morningside-West Program

Program Identity & Fit

Mount Sinai Morningside-West is an academic, university-affiliated EM residency within the Icahn School of Medicine/Mount Sinai Health System, training 60 residents across two Manhattan hospitals seeing roughly 170,000 patients annually, including a Level 1 trauma center and a diverse west-side patient mix spanning underserved, immigrant, and tourist populations. The program is structured around a team-based clinical model with escalating autonomy (Blue/Green/Red teams) and a dedicated PGY-2 critical care consult rotation, an off-site Shock Trauma rotation at R Adams Cowley, and a heavily protected five-hour weekly conference with FOAM, simulation, ultrasound, and QI curricula. Career development is oriented toward academic and subspecialized emergency medicine, evidenced by an active Global Health Fellowship with MPH partnerships, work with asylum seekers/human rights populations, Native American health initiatives, and multiple in-house fellowships. The program values residents drawn to structured educational rigor, global/underserved health equity work, and progressive clinical leadership within a large urban academic system.
