The Mount Sinai Health System’s Office for Diversity and Inclusion hosted a “Health Care Leadership and Career Pathways” panel discussion for more than 40 summer interns in high school, undergraduate, and graduate student administrative programs at Mount Sinai. The panel, held on Friday, August 2, at the Corporate Services Center, featured five senior leaders from departments across the organization, who provided insight into their career journeys and offered advice that they said would be useful during the internships and beyond:
- Make your time impactful, and try to stand out.
- Meet with your preceptors, or direct supervisors, and senior leaders in your department.
- Don’t worry if you are not sure where your career will take you in the beginning.
- Look for possible mentors or sponsors, they will help make a difference in your career.
