I'm also a little curious. It seems to be a 2 yr program. (ie in FREIDA Online, check Mount Sinai under General info) Isthis a fellowship or a 2 yr residency? I have never heard of 2 yr residency before.
It's a 2 year residency after a prelim or TY year. 3 years total. You can also do it after completing a full IM/Peds/FM residency in which case it's basically a fellowship.
