The Mount Sinai Hospital is a 1,171-bed, tertiary- and quaternary-care teaching facility located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.  It is the flagship hospital in the eight hospital Mount Sinai Health System. The Mount Sinai Hospital services a diverse patient population that spans the spectrum from neonates to geriatrics.  The Pharmacy Department at The Mount Sinai Hospital follows a decentralized model. We have a number of pharmacy satellites located on patient units and have centralized many distributive functions. Our Clinical Services include an Investigational Drug Service, Oncology, Transplant, Pediatrics, Critical Care and Antimicrobial Stewardship. We maintain a formal teaching affiliation with Long Island University, Touro University, and St. John’s University.  Our PGY1 program provides each resident with specific learning/practice experiences to enable the resident to expand the scope of their practice skills.  These experiences will be varied in nature, with an overall emphasis on patient care and the pharmacist’s responsibility to patients for the outcomes of drug therapy through participation in interdisciplinary rounds. All residents will complete a residency project and an MUE, in addition to participating in multiple interdisciplinary committees and projects.
