About this program
The Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach (msmc.com) runs an International Post Graduate Observership (IPO) Course — a 4-week structured observership specifically for international medical graduates.
IMPORTANT: This is a SEPARATE institution from Mount Sinai NYC (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, mountsinai.org). The two organizations share the Mount Sinai name historically but are different healthcare systems with different ownership, governance, and admission processes. Applicants should not assume cross-applicability between Miami Beach and the New York Mount Sinai sites.
The IPO Course at Mount Sinai Miami Beach is administered through the institution's Education department. Specific fees, dates, and application requirements are published on the program's Educational Courses and Events page and require direct contact with the program.
