Division of Critical Care
About us
The Mount Sinai Division of Emergency Critical care is a group of critical care fellowship trained emergency physicians practicing clinically at various Mount Sinai and Elmhurst Hospitals. Our clinicians work on multiple units and teams, including the Emergency Department (ED), Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Rapid Response Team (RRT), and Difficult Airway Team (DART). Our goal is to provide residents and fellows with a robust learning experience on a wide variety of critical care topics while providing excellent patient care. By having many emergency physicians who have appointments in both the ED and ICU, Mount Sinai trainees gain great exposure to a large volume of high-acuity patients. We are involved in maintaining the designated critical care areas within the emergency department and implementing evidence-based protocols developed by our dedicated faculty members and interdepartmental teams.
