Transgender Medicine
At Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery (CTMS)—the first comprehensive health care center for transgender and non-binary people in New York City and one of the only centers of its kind in the United States—you’ll find a care team committed to helping you achieve your goals. We provide a multidisciplinary approach in all our services, including primary care, transition care, and behavioral health.
Our physicians are all on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, one of the nation’s leading medical schools. It’s the first medical school in the nation to offer a fellowship, Transgender Surgery Psychiatric Fellowship Program. This fellowship will help educate the next generation of experts in transgender health. Our fellows are dedicated to pursuing a career in transgender medicine, and as they shadow our specialists, they will share insights and support you.
