Program Identity & Fit

Mount Sinai West's OB/GYN residency is an academically-affiliated, high-volume urban program (roughly 6,000 deliveries and 2,500 gynecologic surgeries annually) based on Manhattan's Upper West Side across Mount Sinai West, Mount Sinai Morningside, and the Blavatnik Chelsea Cancer Center. The program trains generalists prepared for either fellowship or independent practice, with structured exposure across MFM, gynecologic oncology, family planning (a regional referral site), urogynecology, transgender medicine and surgery, and a global health track through the Division of Global Women's Health. A required PGY2-3 mentored research project with dedicated statistician/epidemiologist support, protected research time, and an annual Research Day signals genuine institutional investment in scholarly output without positioning research as the program's central identity. The program explicitly values compassionate, engaged advocates for patients, incorporates a resident-driven Health Equity Taskforce and dedicated health equity curriculum, and builds toward progressive surgical autonomy culminating in chief-year leadership of complex gynecologic oncology cases.

Who it fits

An applicant with strong urban safety-net/underserved clinical exposure, a demonstrated interest in health equity or global women's health, and a completed or in-progress clinical research project who wants broad generalist training with an open path to any OB/GYN subspecialty fellowship.

Research intensity

Moderate - a structured PGY2-3 research project with dedicated statistician and epidemiologist support and protected time is expected, but the program's identity centers on clinical breadth rather than research output.

Career orientation

Mixed - Fellowship, Community Practice

Important

Applications must include a Standardized Letter of Recommendation (SLOE) and a letter from an OB/GYN faculty member.
