About Me
Sangyoon Jason Shin, DO, is an Attending Physician in the Department of Medicine at Mount Sinai and an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
He currently serves as the Regional Medical Director of Ambulatory Care for Mount Sinai Downtown, which includes Union Square, the Blavatnik Family – Chelsea Medical Center, and the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. In this role, he collaborates closely with clinical leaders to coordinate quality initiatives, uphold professional practice standards, support financial performance efforts, partner with nursing leadership, and promote the integration of key programs throughout the Mount Sinai Health System.
Dr. Shin serves as the Medical Director of Perioperative Medicine for the Mount Sinai Health System, overseeing perioperative risk screening for surgical procedures across the network. He is a key member of the leadership team responsible for the clinical and operational performance of perioperative and periprocedural optimization, working in close collaboration with teams from Anesthesiology, Medicine, Surgery, and Nursing — including perioperative nursing leadership. Additionally, Dr. Shin has led revenue optimization efforts within the Value Analysis Committee, integrating financial and contractual considerations into the evaluation of requested products and procedures.
For the past decade, Dr. Shin has led initiatives to standardize and enhance the preoperative screening process for surgical patients, resulting in reductions in operating room delays, same-day cancellations, and adverse events. He also established the Mount Sinai Health System’s universal access point for Pre-Admission Testing (PAT), a program that has significantly improved convenience, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.
In 2015, he led the surgical co-management service at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, working with multiple surgical specialties—including Orthopedics, Vascular, and Head and Neck Surgery—to provide comprehensive perioperative medical management. He currently serves as the Medical Director for Transitions of Care at the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery (CTMS) at Mount Sinai, where he helped develop a novel interdisciplinary approach to the care of transgender surgical patients. These efforts received commendation during Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) surveys and contributed to achieving some of the highest Press Ganey scores in the nation.
Prior to joining the Mount Sinai Health System, Dr. Shin served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and worked as an Academic Hospitalist with the Northwell Health System. He completed his Internal Medicine training through the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine consortium and earned his Bachelor of Arts from Tufts University.
