Meet the First Years!

By Kipp Johnson (entering class of 2014)

first-yearsThe Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai welcomes its newest MSTP class comprised of ten students hailing from hometowns and undergraduate institutions across the country and world. The new M1s took from 10 days to 4 years between college graduation and matriculation to Mount Sinai. Their precious accomplishments range from achieving masters degrees in biology, engineering, and philosophy; to publishing scientific papers; to participating in collegiate sports; to teaching in Hawaii for a year; to time spent with a ballet company.
