You will encounter a wide range of pathology during inpatient service while you assume an appropriate level of responsibility for patient care, with continual supervision from senior residents, full-time attending faculty and voluntary faculty. On Call We offer an on-call system providing adequate rest to enhance education while including appropriate clinical exposure. On weekdays, on-call residents in some rotations will be relieved of duties at 8 p.m. by nonresident teams. Managed Care Because a significant number of our patients are enrolled in managed care, you will learn concepts and practices necessary for survival in today's health care environment. We encourage residents to develop international perspectives on health care.
Opportunities exist for electives in other countries.
Committee and Activity Participation Mount Sinai welcomes residents' participation in activities and committees concerning graduate medical education and residents' welfare. In addition, we encourage residents to give input and help make decisions by participating in committees on curriculum development, resident recruitment and selection, the medical library and health education. You will be evaluated against competency-based criteria related to each learning, unit's objectives. This objective method greatly minimizes potential biases that could result from subjective faculty evaluation. Our desire is that residents will help develop and define the learning experience.
