Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida has received a continued accreditation for a five-year cycle from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
The continued accreditation is a testament to the commitment Mount Sinai has made since 1959 to training tomorrow’s health care providers. As a statutory teaching hospital, Mount Sinai brings together the best and brightest minds in medicine, creating a challenging environment where emerging physicians are trained by faculty who are well versed in the latest medicine based on the most current scientific data. Each year, Mount Sinai trains more than 160 residents and fellows in 17 medical specialties, at an investment of more than $20 million dollars.
Mount Sinai also enhances its educational programs through unique partnerships with other medical institutions such as New York’s elite Columbia University. The collaboration in the departments of cardiology and urology are the only Ivy-League affiliations of their kind in South Florida. Doctors and professors from Mount Sinai and Columbia University participate in Grand Rounds, which enhances the teaching experience for fellows, as well as share educational conferences.
In addition to graduate medical education training, Mount Sinai also supports more than 560 students through its allied health professional and undergraduate medical programs, helping students prepare for a range of careers as future nurses, technicians, therapists and pharmacists, among others.
