About Us
The Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is dedicated to fostering interest in the specialty of Emergency Medicine through robust career exploration, clinical skill-building, and mentorship. Our mission is to provide students with early exposure to the dynamic, high-acuity environment of the emergency department, facilitating meaningful connections with residents and faculty. We strive to demystify the residency application process, provide hands-on workshops for procedural skill development, and promote an understanding of the critical role emergency physicians play within the broader healthcare system. Through educational sessions, clinical shadowing opportunities, and panels featuring leaders in the field, we aim to prepare the next generation of physicians to provide compassionate, equitable, and evidence-based care in acute settings.
