on faith healing in evangelical Christian addiction ministries founded and run by self-identified ex-addicts. After graduate school, you completed a clinical residency in psychiatry at NYU Medical Center/Bellevue Hospital, during which you also undertook an ethnographic study of the introduction of new addiction pharmaceuticals. You examined the social and political implications of clinicians’ efforts to establish addiction as a biomedical rather than moral or social condition, as well as the ways that neurochemical treatments may be re-inscribing hierarchies of ethnicity and race. This work informed your current book project, White Opioids, along with a feature-length visual documentary based on this work, Managing the Fix, which debuted at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. Your work has been published in both clinical and social science journals ranging from the Journal of the American Medical Association and New England Journal of Medicine to Social Science and Medicine and Medical Anthropology. You are also the author of Addicted to Christ: Remaking Men in Puerto Rican Pentecostal Drug Ministries. You are currently leading a national movement that is advocating for the training of clinical practitioners to address social determinants of health, or "Structural Competency," which is the subject of your co-authored book Structural Competency in Medicine and Mental Health: A Case-Based Approach to Treating the Social Determinants of Health.

Candidates for Degrees MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOMEDICAL DATA SCIENCE
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GENETIC COUNSELING
The Master of Science in Biomedical Data Science (MSBDS) program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai integrates training and education in various aspects of biomedical sciences with machine learning, computer systems, and big data analysis, as well as access to large electronic medical record-linked biomedical repositories. Housed within the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, our Program offers a unique opportunity for students with a strong quantitative background to hone the skills necessary to enrich—and ultimately to lead— the biomedical workforce of tomorrow. WILLIAM M. LEE
The Master of Science in Genetic Counseling is a two-year, full-time course of study designed to train future genetic counselors. Genetic counselors help people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic and genomic contributions to disease.
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS
The Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics program trains individuals to be immediately productive in biomedical research and clinical teams by teaching practical computational and data science skills. Using informatics tools, we teach our students the skills they need to accelerate biomedical scientific discovery and health care translation. Students are taught to apply practical computational and data analytic methods to real-life biomedical and health care challenges. The ability to transform raw data into actionable knowledge is one of the most exciting, powerful and sought-after skills today. ISMAIL NABEEL MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOSTATISTICS
The Master of Science in Biostatistics program is designed to prepare students with strong backgrounds in mathematics for careers as data analysts and applied biostatisticians in the biomedical and translational sciences. The program is directed at students whose goal is to work as a biostatistician in a clinical, research, or industry setting; or as a stepping-stone to pursue a PhD in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or Bioinformatics. The curriculum emphasizes strong quantitative training, critical thinking skills, and practical strategies for addressing complex challenges of novel, clinical and translational research.
Genetic counseling students complete coursework in basic and clinical sciences, medical genetics and genomics, genetic counseling, and bioethics. Supported by the Division of Medical Genetics and Genomics within the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, our students gain hands-on experience working with patients to understand the impact of genetics and genomics in medicine. Additionally, each student completes a thesis to develop the critical thinking and clinical research skills required to academically contribute to the profession. The integration of the academic and clinical disciplines within the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine, and the Mount Sinai Health System provides our students unparalleled opportunities for didactic and clinical experiences to develop the medical, scientific, and psychosocial skills necessary to practice in this challenging and exciting field. Our graduates are uniquely qualified and highly recruited professionals in one of the fastest growing areas in healthcare. The Genetic Counseling Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Genetic Counseling and our graduates are eligible to sit for the American Board of Genetic Counseling Certification examination.

MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Mount Sinai’s Program of Biomedical Sciences is highly collegial and interconnected: translational and basic science researchers, students, and postdocs all share the same space, and our faculty is strongly committed to excellence in both teaching and research. Our Masters students thrive in this setting, and the program takes full advantage of the wide range of multidisciplinary research and educational programs available to prepare students to continue their education as a PhD student, medical student or to enter the biomedical research profession. Since it was established in 2005, more than 250 students have completed the MSBS program.
The Graduate Program in Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is dedicated to improving the health of communities and individuals. The Program is based on the following core values: community, sound science, diversity, social justice, and engagement. The Program’s mission is to educate our students to prevent disease, protect the environment, and promote good health in partnership with the populations they serve. Through interdisciplinary research and innovation, policy analysis, and advocacy, our students and graduates translate knowledge into practice to serve local, national, and global communities. Training takes place within the largest health care system in New York City, located at the intersection of East Harlem and the Upper East Side—the border between underserved and highly affluent neighborhoods. This geography and the diverse patient population Mount Sinai serves brings into stark relief the health disparities that exist not only in our own community but throughout the world, and frames our students’ educational, practical, and research experience. MPH graduates pursue careers in a wide variety of settings including academic research institutions, community- based organizations, health departments, international NGOs, industry, and the domestic non-profit sector.
