Statement of Diversity and Inclusion
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion provides overarching guidance to the MD/PhD program. As an ISMMS academic program, the MD/PhD program recognizes that diversity drives excellence. Our program supports trainees through individualized paths in careers as physician scientists and values the unique characteristics and career paths of each student from recruitment through the student life cycle through graduation. Recruitment and admissions practices are governed by a holistic approach to each applicant as a means to foster a vibrant student body with different life experiences and biomedical expertise and interest as defined in our institutional mission and diversity statement. We commit to providing MD/PhD students with holistic student support to cultivate an inclusive, thriving, and supportive environment that engages, embraces, and values all of our students, faculty, and staff who contribute to building a diverse physician scientist workforce.
