What are some factors that make the fellowship program unique?
While our program emphasizes academic and clinical training, there is an equal emphasis on well-being. Wellness time is integrated into the academic curriculum. The weekly didactics will collaborate with the other Valley Graduate Medical Education Programs to allow for interprofessional development. The program offers a wide variety and complexity of clinical experiences in The Valley Hospital and the outpatient continuity clinic under the supervision of experienced, passionate, and diverse faculty.
What makes your new program distinct from other new programs?
While our fellowship program is newly established, our program leadership and faculty have several years of experience to create a vigorous program while providing a collegial, friendly training environment. Unlike other newly developed programs, our program’s sponsoring institution, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, has the largest graduate medical education programs in the country. With the resources and support from the Mount Sinai Health System and the high-quality reputation of Valley Health System, the program is well-positioned to succeed.
