Each year, over 2,600 residents and fellows rotate through the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s 250 robust graduate medical education programs, and develop their skills as heath care practitioners in the nation’s largest residency and fellowship program. They practice in inner city and suburban settings; in a dozen municipal, tertiary, and quaternary care hospitals—including ten that compose the Mount Sinai Health System—the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx; numerous ambulatory locations; and the Rikers Island Prison Complex. They serve a patient population that is among the nation’s most culturally and economically diverse. 

Alongside Mount Sinai’s dynamic clinical setting is an academic medical center that is focused on innovative biomedical research. In fiscal 2024, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai received $502 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), ranking No. 13 among U.S. medical schools.

Support the GME

The GME program plays a critical role in training the future physicians and advancing healthcare through innovative education and research initiatives. Funding is essential to support Annual Resident/Fellow Stipends, enhance clinical training, and sustain vital programs like leadership development and quality improvement projects, which benefit both trainees and patient care outcomes. Financial support is crucial for expanding these opportunities and ensuring that Mount Sinai continues to lead in medical education and healthcare innovation.

Opportunity to Name Physician Scientist Scholar Award

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) is strongly committed to supporting and enhancing the training of Physician-Scientists as they develop their careers as future leaders in academic medicine. Physician-scientists have the medical and advanced research training to bridge the gap between clinical practice and scientific discovery and therefore play a critical role in advancing medical research and improving patient care.

The Physician-Scientist Scholar Award aims to recognize exceptional trainees who have demonstrated outstanding achievements and potential in their pursuit of combining clinical practice with scientific research. This initiative will serve as a catalyst for continued recruitment of top applicants to Mount Sinai’s post-graduate training programs, for advancing medical research and fostering the development of the next generation of physician scientists.
