Emergency Medicine Fellowship
The Mount Sinai Emergency Medicine Fellowship has now been running for five years. We train fellows seeking experience in the Canadian Emergency Medicine environment with the direct support of SREMI, Mount Sinai Hospital, the Azrieli Foundation, the Israeli Ministry of Health, and the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. This year saw the addition of our seventh fellow - Dr. Hilal Hurani.
Dr. Hilal Hurani joined us in July 2025. He is a senior emergency medicine physician at Carmel Medical Center in Haifa, Israel. He completed his medical degree at the Technion Institute followed by his residency and specialty at the Carmel Medical Centre. Since then, he has been appointed as the Deputy Clinical Head of the Emergency Department. He envisions utilizing his time here in Canada to absorb the different culture of medicine, healthcare management systems, and leadership modalities. After three months in the emergency department, he is now rotating with the new Psychiatric Emergency Services team at Mount Sinai. We are thrilled to have him.
Dr. Yusef Darawsha (2024 – 2026) came to us from the Bnai Zion Medical Center where he worked full time as a staff emergency medicine physician. He has a specialty in internal medicine and chose to pursue the fellowship to further his exposure to comprehensive emergency medicine. We just celebrated the completion of his first year of fellowship and we are excited that he has chosen to pursue a second year. During his second year, he has chosen to focus on emergency medicine leadership, management of musculoskeletal injuries, and simulation.
Dr. Shemesh-Lobl (2021-2024) was our longest standing fellow, completing two and a half years of training in the fellowship. She has actively participated in academic emergency medicine by teaching postgraduate medical students at the University of Toronto and attended both local and national conferences. The culmination of her fellowship saw her working as a junior staff physician in the Mount Sinai emergency department.
Dr. Nana Maklada (2021-2023) completed her fellowship and has returned to work as a lead in the ICU, trauma bay, and emergency department. In her second year, she focused on regional anesthesia, orthopaedics, and improving critical care procedures. One of her main objectives is to promote emergency medicine orthopedics at her site. She also wishes to incorporate some of the learning strategies she experienced during her fellowship to help train the next generation of residents including weekly educational rounds.
Dr. Sabrina Weill: (2022-2023)
Sabrina completed her fellowship in the summer of 2023. Upon return she will continue working as a staff EM physician at Assuta Ashdod Hospital, a regional academic center. With her additional training from her fellowship, she will be bringing back a host of new ideas to her department. Some of her goals include focusing on improving ED flow, resident education, department scheduling, and pediatric emergency medicine
