More than 50 faculty and staff from throughout the Mount Sinai Health System mingled at a recent Faculty of Color Network (FCoN) event held at MIST in Harlem. The gathering was sponsored by the Health System’s Office for Diversity and Inclusion and the Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Participants learned about faculty development opportunities, mentor programs, and ways to further professional interaction. Among the guests from the Icahn School of Medicine were (see photo) from left: Miguel Gama Sosa, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry; Ann-Gel Palermo, DrPH, MPH, Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion in Biomedical Education; and Melissa Alvarez-Downing, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery (Colorectal Surgery). Another event is planned for the spring.
