The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), formerly the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM), is an American medical school in the New York City borough of Manhattan in the state of New York. Chartered by Mount Sinai Hospital in 1963, the ISMMS is one of the foremost medical schools in the United States, ranking 20th in research according to ''U.S. News & World Report'', 18th in NIH funding among U.S Medical Schools (2014), and 3rd in NIH funding per primary investigator. ISMMS and the Mount Sinai Hospital occupy a four-block area adjacent to Central Park on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, with architecture designed by I. M. Pei. ISMMS and Mount Sinai Hospital make up the Mount Sinai Medical Center, of which Kenneth L. Davis, MD, is the president and CEO. In 2012–13, the Mount Sinai Medical Center was recognized on the U.S. News & World Report "Best Hospitals Honor Roll," ranking 14th among the approximately 5,000 hospitals in the US with 11 nationally ranked specialties including cancer, geriatrics, gastroenterology, cardiology and heart surgery, otolaryngology, rehabilitation, diabetes and endocrinology, neurology and neurosurgery, gynecology, urology, and kidney disorders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mount Sinai Medical Center Rises to No.14 )〕 ==History== The first official proposal for the establishment of a medical school was made to the Mount Sinai Hospital's trustees in January 1958. The school's philosophy was defined by Hans Popper, Horace Hodes, Alexander Gutman, Paul Klemperer, George Baehr, Gustave L. Levy, and Alfred Stern, among others.〔(Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai – History ) Retrieved July 15, 2008〕 Milton Steinbach was the school's first president. In 1968, MSSM commenced its first class and soon became known as one of the leading medical schools in the U.S., with Mount Sinai Hospital gaining recognition for its laboratories and advances in patient care and the discovery of diseases.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mount Sinai Firsts )〕 The City University of New York (CUNY) granted MSSM's degrees.〔 In 1999, MSSM changed university affiliations from CUNY to New York University (NYU) but did not merge 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.〔 In 2007, Mount Sinai Medical Center's Boards of Trustees approved the termination of the academic affiliation between MSSM and NYU.〔(MSSM Self-Assessment ) Retrieved September 11, 2009 〕 In 2010, MSSM was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and became an independent degree-granting institution.〔(MSSM Accreditation ) Retrieved January 11, 2011〕 On November 14, 2012, it was announced that Mount Sinai School of Medicine would be renamed to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in honor of New York businessman and philanthropist Carl Icahn. ISMMS publishes the ''Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine: A Journal of Translational and Personalized Medicine'' six times a year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
