Overseas Rotation
Mount Sinai School of Medicine has developed a clinical rotation in the Dominican Republic. Senior surgical residents can operate in an environment culturally and socioeconomically distinct from his or her own, learning to observe, appreciate, and ultimately incorporate valuable skills and lessons into patient care. This opportunity also allows senior residents to contribute to the global community as humanitarians.
Our institution provides an ongoing clinical rotation in which our surgical residents rotate on a routine basis to a rural hospital in the Dominican Republic. The local population benefits from the medical care provided by these residents. At the same time, the residents themselves benefit from working in an environment with limited resources distinctly different from their own, allowing them to improve their surgical and medical skills.
Master of Public Health Program
Residents can also pursue a Master of Public Health degree as part of their residency training. Completion of program requirements prepares graduates to take the certification exam administered by the National Board of Public Health Examiners.
Offered through the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, courses are scheduled during autumn, winter and spring terms. Participating physicians complete all MPH degree requirements during the last fours years of residency training. Residents work with the Surgical Residency Program Director and Program Coordinator to create a call schedule that fulfills both MPH and surgical residency requirements.
Mount Sinai currently offers one dual surgery/MPH position per year at the discretion of the Surgical Residency Director.
