Career Services and Strategy

The Graduate School is home of the Office of Career Services & Strategy (OCSS). Under the Student Affairs umbrella, the mission of OCSS is to educate and equip members of the Graduate School community (PhD and master students) with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue lifelong career success. Through services such as individualized career coaching sessions, skills development workshops, special events, and online resources, OCSS is committed to help you identify your career direction, enhance your competitiveness in the job market, and connect you with employers and alumni in the larger Mount Sinai network. Whether you want to a coaching appointment to set up a coaching appointment to discuss networking strategies, have your CV/resume reviewed or attend a workshop on interview preparation, OCSS is here to support your career development needs every step along the way.

Additionally, the Graduate School is a charter member of the New York Science Alliance, a citywide consortium hosted by the New York Academy of Sciences. The Alliance coordinates workshops and events with dynamic speakers that students can participate and attend. The Graduate School is also a proud sponsor of the bi-annual “What can you be with a PhD?” career symposium on science and technology with other biomedical sciences research and academic institutions in the tristate area.
