The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS or Mount Sinai), formerly the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, is a private medical school in New York City, New York, United States. The school is the academic teaching arm of the Mount Sinai Health System, which manages seven hospital campuses in the New York metropolitan area, including Mount Sinai Hospital and the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. As of 2025, Eric J. Nestler is the Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Brendan Carr serves as the President and & CEO. ^[1]

The School is a teaching hospital first conceived in 1958. Due to simultaneous expansion initiatives at the hospital, classes did not begin until 1968. Its initial name, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, was changed to The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2012, after a $200 million grant from businessman Carl Icahn.

Academics programs include MD, PhD and dual degrees, and its Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences offers 13 degree-granting programs, conducts basic and translational research, and trains postdoctoral research fellows. Its campus is located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, stretching from East 98th Street to East 102nd Street.

History

As Mount Sinai School of Medicine

The first official proposal to establish a medical school at Mount Sinai was made to the hospital's trustees in January 1958. The school contemplated a new kind of medical institution encompassing a medical school supported by a teaching hospital. It would include an undergraduate school representing allied health fields, a graduate school of biological sciences, and a graduate school of physical sciences. ^[2]

This philosophy was defined by Hans Popper, Horace Hodes, Alexander Gutman, Paul Klemperer, George Baehr, Gustave L. Levy, and Alfred Stern, among others. ^[3] Milton Steinbach was the school's first president. ^[4]

Classes at Mount Sinai School of Medicine began in 1968, and the school soon became known as one of the leading medical schools in the U.S., as the hospital gained recognition for its laboratories, advances in patient care and the discovery of diseases. ^[5] The City University of New York granted Mount Sinai's degrees. ^[3]

The school expanded programs and added a range of dedicated departments in the subsequent decades. The Edith J. Baerwald Professor of Community Medicine and Social Work (1969); ^[6] the first Department of Neoplastic Diseases in an American medical school (1973); ^[7] and the first Department of Geriatrics and Adult Development (1982). ^[8]

In the 1990s, it created the Cultural Diversity in Medicine Program focused on healthcare availability to diverse patient populations. ^[9] It was the second institution in the New York Metropolitan area to create an Academic Department of Emergency Medicine (1994), ^[10] it started the Institute for Gene Therapy and Molecular Medicine (1996), ^[11] and an Office of Multi-cultural and Community Affairs to add diversity to the demographic composition of the school (1998). ^[9] In collaboration with the Pew Charitable Trust, the Center for Children's Health and the Environment was formed to examine links between childhood illnesses and toxic pollutants (1999). ^{[12] [13]}

Mount Sinai's degrees were granted by City University of New York before 1999, when Mount Sinai changed university affiliations from City University to New York University but without merging its operations with the New York University School of Medicine. This affiliation change took place as part of the merger in 1998 of Mount Sinai and NYU medical centers to create the Mount Sinai–NYU Medical Center and Health System. ^[14] In 2003, the partnership between the two dissolved. ^{[15] [16]}

In 2007, Mount Sinai Medical Center's boards of trustees approved the termination of the academic affiliation between Mount Sinai and NYU and it was officially terminated in 2008. ^[17] In 2010, Mount Sinai was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and became an independent degree-granting institution.

As Icahn School of Medicine

On November 14, 2012, it was announced that Mount Sinai School of Medicine would be renamed Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, following a US$200 million gift from New York businessman and philanthropist Carl Icahn. ^{[18] [19]}

Academics

Icahn Medical Institute at ISMMS, built in 1997 and designed by Davis Brody Bond

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers MDs, and graduate studies through its Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Doctoral offerings include PhD programs in Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, Clinical Research, and Health Sciences Engineering, along with an NIH-funded MD–PhD program; master's programs include Biomedical Science, Public Health, Clinical Research, and Health Administration. ^{[20] [21] [22]}

As of the 2024–25 academic year, 1,261 students were enrolled across the MD, PhD, MD–PhD, and master's tracks; the school also supported 565 postdoctoral research fellows and more than 2,700 residents and fellows in 150+ GME programs affiliated with the Mount Sinai Health System. ^[23] Research training spans more than 350 laboratories and 48 research, educational, and clinical institutes. Icahn is institutionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, with additional programmatic accreditations listed for specific degrees. ^[24]

Mount Sinai's medical curriculum is based on the standard program of medical education in the United States: the first two years of study are confined to the medical sciences, the latter to the study of clinical sciences. The first and second years are strictly pass/fail; the third and fourth years feature clinical rotations at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Elmhurst Hospital Center, ^[25] a major level 1 trauma center and safety-net hospital known for being situated in the "most ethnically diverse community in the world," serving an area of one million people with recent immigrants encompassing 112 different countries. ^[23] Other clerkship and residency training sites include the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens, James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, Mount Sinai West, Mount Sinai Morningside, and Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital. ^[26]

Mount Sinai's faculty as of 2025 includes 27 elected members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and 41 members of the American Society for Clinical Investigation. ^[23]

In the 2024–2025 term, the MD program matriculated 119 students from 8,540 applicants. ^[27] The median undergraduate GPA of matriculants was reportedly 3.93. The Medical Scientist Training Program in 2025 is training over 90 MD/PhD students.

Admissions

Applicants are required to have a bachelor's degree, a competitive MCAT score, and coursework including biology, physics, English and chemistry. A cumulative GPA above 3.5 is reportedly required. ^[28] Individual educational programs are accredited through the appropriate bodies, including but not limited to LCME, CEPH, ACCME and ACGME.

College freshmen or sophomores can approach admissions through the FlexMed Program allowing them to apply for early acceptance regardless of prior majors. ^{[29] [30]}

Campus

The 18-story Icahn Institute provides 350,000 sf of laboratory, treatment, and education space for the School of Medicine. ^[31] The campus is located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, stretching from East 98th Street to East 102nd Street.

Community service

Mount Sinai's four-pronged missions (quality education, patient care, research, and community service) follow the "commitment of serving science," and the majority of students actively participate in some aspect of community service. This participation includes The East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, which the students of Mount Sinai developed to create a health partnership with the East Harlem community, providing quality health care, regardless of ability to pay, to uninsured residents of East Harlem. ^{[32] [33] [34] [35]}

Partnerships and affiliations

In 2015, Mount Sinai announced partnerships with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as well as National Jewish Health, the nation's leading institutes for pediatric and pulmonary care respectively, leading to the creation of the Mount Sinai Children's Heart Center ^[36] and the Mount Sinai – National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute. ^[37]

COVID response

The first diagnosed COVID-19 case in New York City was by Mount Sinai emergency department's Dr. Angela Chen. ^[38]

In March 2020, Elmhurst Hospital Center, the public hospital that serves as a major training site for students and residents, was the epicenter of New York City's initial COVID-19 surge, with Mount Sinai house staff and faculty serving as the city's first front-line workers treating patients infected with coronavirus. ^[39] Mount Sinai has since established itself at the forefront of research to understand and treat COVID-19, being named a lead site in a $470 million study to examine the long-term effects of COVID-19. ^[40]

Research centers and institutes

The School organizes much of its research through interdisciplinary centers and institutes that link basic science, clinical care, and population health across the Mount Sinai Health System.

As part of the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center, The Tisch Cancer Institute is the School's National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The institute unites investigators in basic, clinical, and population sciences to support cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship research, and is one of a network of NCI-designated centers that conduct peer-reviewed cancer research and provide access to clinical trials and community outreach programs. ^{[41] [42]}

Neurological and psychiatric research is coordinated through the Friedman Brain Institute (FBI), an interdisciplinary center for studies of the brain and nervous system. The institute was established following a US$20 million gift from Goldman Sachs executive Richard A. Friedman and Susan P. Friedman to create a research program focused on Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and related conditions. ^{[43] [44] [45]} The Friedman Brain Institute works with departments such as neurology, psychiatry, and neurosurgery and supports basic, translational, and clinical research programs in the neurosciences. ^[46]

The Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz Precision Immunology Institute (PrIISM) coordinates disease-focused immunology laboratories and technology cores and pursues precision-medicine approaches to immune-mediated diseases across cancer, neurodegeneration, atherosclerosis, and aging. ^{[47] [48]}

Founded in 2013, the Institute for Exposomic Research at Mount Sinai has been described as one of the first institutes devoted to systematic exposome research, examining how mixtures of nutritional, chemical, and social exposures shape disease risk across the life course and supporting large-scale studies of metals and other early-life hazards. ^{[49] [50]}

The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute serves as a translational research enterprise focused on the biologic, environmental, and social drivers of child health, including new initiatives in artificial-intelligence–enabled pediatrics and critical care. ^{[51] [52]}

Global and digital health initiatives include the Arnhold Institute for Global Health, which conducts health-systems and implementation research in partnership with institutions such as NYC Health + Hospitals and administers pilot-grant and training programs, ^[53] and the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Health at Mount Sinai, a transatlantic institute jointly established with the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam to develop data-driven and AI-enabled digital health tools using clinical and electronic health record data. ^[54]

Rankings

The Mount Sinai Hospital, the teaching hospital of the school, was listed in the 2025-2026 edition of U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll, with multiple specialties ranked in the top 20 nationwide (cardiology #2, geriatrics #3, gastroenterology #5, cancer #6, urology #6, neurology & neurosurgery #11, orthopedics #14, obstetrics & gynecology #17, diabetes & endocrinology #19). ^[55]

ISMMS was ranked 11th among medical schools in the U.S. receiving NIH grants in 2024, was awarded $489.8 million funding for their researchers. ^[56]

Publications

The Annals of Global Health ^[57] was founded at Mount Sinai in 1934, then known as the Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine . Levy Library Press publishes The Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine. ^[58]

Controversy

In July of 2023, the New York County Supreme Court dismissed ^[59] an April 2019, lawsuit filed against Mount Sinai Health System and several employees of the Icahn School's Arnhold Institute for Global Health. ^[60] The suit was filed by eight current and former employees for "age and sex discrimination as well as improper reporting to funding agencies, misallocation of funds, failing to obtain Institutional Review Board approval prior to conducting research in violation of Mount Sinai and federal guidelines, and failing properly to adhere to the guidelines of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA." ^[61] The school denied the claims. More than 150 students at the Icahn School and more than 400 Icahn and Mount Sinai Health System faculty signed letters, addressed to the Board of Trustees, calling on the system to investigate these allegations. ^{[62] [63]}
