Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai-Kravis Children's Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-based, tertiary academic pediatrics program anchored at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital, with a top-tier NIH-funded pediatrics department (ranked #11 nationally, #1 in New York State) and strong subspecialty depth in nephrology, GI, and endocrinology. The training model blends complex, high-acuity subspecialty and ICU exposure at Kravis with a municipal safety-net experience at Elmhurst Hospital Center, exposing residents to an unusually broad socioeconomic and pathology spectrum within New York City. Senior years are built around heavy elective flexibility (up to 24 weeks in PGY-3) enabling individualized tracks, including a structured Global Health Track with Ampath-affiliated international rotations and required scholarly output. The program explicitly values residents who integrate clinical care with advocacy, education, and research, and its graduates regularly enter competitive subspecialty fellowships alongside primary care and public health paths.
