About this program
Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital and Mount Sinai West Hospital (formerly St. Luke's-Roosevelt) operate a joint Emergency Medicine Visiting Student program at msmwem.com — separate application and selection from the main Mount Sinai Hospital visiting clerkship.
- Program structure:
- - 4-week M4 EM rotation
- - Sub-intern role with 12 clinical shifts
- - Sites: Mount Sinai Morningside (Upper West Side) + Mount Sinai West (Midtown)
- - VSLO-based application
Equity feature: program offers a URM (underrepresented in medicine) scholarship for visiting students from URM backgrounds.
Distinct from the broader Icahn School of Medicine visiting students program at icahn.mssm.edu/education/students/registrar/electives/visiting-lcme-schools (which covers Mount Sinai Hospital, James J. Peters VA, Elmhurst, and Beth Israel campuses). Morningside / West runs its own selection through msmwem.com — applicants interested specifically in Morningside or West EM should apply via this dedicated URL.
