Mt. Sinai FlexMed Program

Are you a current freshman or sophomore interested in pursuing a career in medicine? The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) has a special opportunity for you. 

The Donald and Vera Blinken FlexMed Program at ISMMS offers early assurance to college sophomores from any academic area of study.

If you are eligible, you can apply in the winter of your undergraduate sophomore year, admissions will be determined by summer.
