Mount Sinai School of Medicine Neurology Residency Program Ranked Among Nation’s Best
Mount Sinai was ranked third in the country in the August issue of the Archives of Neurology.
According to a study published in the August issue of the Archives of Neurology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s Neurology residency program ranked third in the country by number of neurologists who continue in academic neurology. When program size is taken into account, Mount Sinai ranks first in the country by percentage of residency graduates it sends into academic medicine.
"These results attest to the love of teaching, discovery, and academic neurology that has been transmitted to Mount Sinai School of Medicine residents over the years," said Stuart Sealfon, MD, Glickenhaus Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurology. "We have a strong culture of teaching and training and look forward to continuing this great tradition."
To gain an understanding of the productivity and contribution of each of the 125 neurology programs throughout the country, the study evaluated the number of graduates who pursued careers in academic medicine. The analysis was performed by obtaining the biographical information from current faculty members of neurology training programs in the United States through an internet-based search of departmental websites. The influence of medical school and residency program experiences was found to be a significant factor in determining whether a trainee would continue on to academic medicine.
"This study provides another metric for evaluating the prestige of neurology residency training programs and highlights the need for additional measures that encourage trainees to pursue academic medicine," Dr. Sealfon said. "The research shows how important the faculty of a training program is in preparing and inspiring the next generation of academic neurologists."
The analysis was conducted by researchers at Thomas Jefferson University, Temple University School of Medicine, Stanford University, and University of Miami.
