JEFFREY SILVERSTEIN Obituary

SILVERSTEIN--Jeffrey, MD.

We, at the Mount Sinai Health System, are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague and friend Jeffrey Silverstein, MD, Senior Associate Dean for Research and Executive Director of the Program for the Protection of Human Subjects (PPHS) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. A member of the Mount Sinai community for more than 25 years, Dr. Silverstein was an excellent physician, a committed researcher, a popular teacher, and an accomplished administrator whose high standards and strong work ethic are widely recognized. Dr. Silverstein began his career at Mount Sinai as a Critical Care fellow in 1989, and joined the faculty two years later. With appointments in the Departments of Anesthesiology, Surgery, and Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Dr. Silverstein was promoted to the rank of professor in 2007. A champion for integrity and transparency in human subjects research, Dr. Silverstein joined the School's Institutional Review Board in 1998, was named Vice Chair in 2001, and became Associate Dean for Research in 2002. He also served as Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Anesthesiology beginning in 2000. As a specialist in the care of elderly patients, he was sought after for the anesthetic care of complicated geriatric surgical patients, and he contributed actively on local and national professional committees to create standards of care in this area. We recognize our good fortune in having known and worked with Dr. Silverstein for so many years, and extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Stacie Deiner, MD, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Neurosurgery, and Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine, as well as his family and friends.

I am very sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. He was a lovely human being and a superb doctor. It was always a pleasure to work with him in the OR and on the IRB. He will be missed in the Mount Sinai community.

I was saddened to hear of Dr Silverstein's passing. As one of the attending anesthesiologists who trained me, he will always be remembered as a man of integrity, a doctor who truly cared about his patients. To a resident in training, he was a doctor who one would like to emulate. My condolences to his wife Stacie and the rest of his family.
