An Appreciation Day for Residents and Fellows

The Mount Sinai Health System’s residents and fellows were treated to an inaugural Appreciation Day on Monday, January 12, sponsored by the Office of Graduate Medical Education. More than 300 residents and fellows located throughout the Health System’s seven hospitals took short breaks from their busy schedules to socialize with one another and enjoy ice cream, cookies, and brownies in what is expected to become an annual event. The Mount Sinai Health System serves as one of the largest residency training programs in the United States.

Achieving a Milestone

Amid much jubilation, 140 first-year students at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai symbolically marked the start of their medical education by receiving white coats and stethoscopes at the 17th Annual White Coat Ceremony held Monday, September 8.

“Some members of the Class of 2018 will make scientific discoveries that will improve our ability to diagnose and treat patients, while others will become master clinicians and educators, or focus on improving public health for underserved communities around the world,” Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and President for Academic Affairs, Mount Sinai Health System, told the students. “The medical path you choose must be powered by idealism. We will nurture your idealism—because at Mount Sinai we translate idealism into action for the betterment of patients everywhere.”
