This partnership will further enhance NYMC’s extensive network of affiliated hospitals and clinical sites that encompasses more than 30 affiliates now across seven states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Arizona, and Florida.
“We are excited to welcome Mount Sinai Medical Center to NYMC’s robust network of clinical affiliates. Mount Sinai is renowned for its exceptional patient care and the expertise of its physicians. I am confident that our students will greatly benefit from the outstanding educational opportunities available to them there, which will significantly enhance their clinical skills,” said Dr. Neil W. Schluger, dean of the NYMC School of Medicine.
The agreement establishes clerkship rotations for medical students in internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and surgery and electives in emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and urology. Named America’s 100 Best Hospitals™ by Healthgrades™ for 2024, Mount Sinai operates across 13 locations, including three emergency centers and is the largest private, independent, nonprofit teaching hospital in Florida.
“The partnership between Touro University and Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach will greatly increase the number of healthcare professionals serving the community, creating a pipeline of young physicians for MSMC residency programs who will practice locally,” said Kadish.
“Educating the next generation of expert physicians for our community has been at the core of Mount Sinai’s mission for 75 years,” said Gino R. Santorio, president and CEO of Mount Sinai Medical Center. “Our newest affiliation with NYMC enhances our ability to continue to attract top medical minds, fostering an environment where emerging doctors are mentored by expert faculty.
