Consulting Policy with Outside Entities (See Section E in Faculty Handbook/Full-Time Faculty)
Any work the faculty member does in a consulting capacity must be set forth in a written agreement. The agreement should be sent to Sandra Londono and Jenny Rivera for review. All outside activities must be approved by the Department Chair and the Dean reviews the final agreement and signs an Attestation Form the faculty completes for their activity. Any compensation for the activity must be paid directly to the faculty member and not to Mount Sinai.

The Microscopy SRF provides equipment, instruction and expertise for the microscopic examination of cells.

Mount Sinai Intranet
The goal of the Mount Sinai Intranet is to provide a web-based platform by which all members of the Organization can easily access information relative to the Mount Sinai as well as individual campus Intranets. The architecture of this web site is derived from the Mount Sinai structure in that the content relative to each entity is presented in a uniform and easy to access manner. Additionally, this approach suggests that each entity in the Organization can retain its own identity and autonomy.

By design, our Intranet is accessible only from within The Mount Sinai Hospital and selected campuses of the organization, or from sources that have appropriate security access (e.g. Onsite Health). It can therefore lend itself to provide internal Information that is not meant for public consumption (e.g. the Internet).

These are some of the items that can be found on the intranet:

  1. Human Resources
  2. Benefits
  3. Immigration
  4. Recruitment Process
  5. Labor Relations
  6. Recreation Office
  7. Forms & Publications (Health forms, Flexible Spending forms, etc)
  8. HR Policy Manual
