Weill Cornell Medicine is the biomedical research unit and medical school of Cornell University, a private Ivy League university. The medical college is located at 1300 York Avenue, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York, along with the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences. One of the most selective medical schools in the United States (based on analysis by ''U.S. News & World Report''), Cornell enrolls approximately 100 students per class. In 2012, 5,886 persons applied, and 821 were interviewed for only 101 seats. The average undergraduate GPA and MCAT scores for successful applicants were 3.78 and 35Q, respectively. The college is named after benefactor and former Citigroup chairman Sanford Weill. ==History== The school was founded on April 14, 1898, with an endowment by Col. Oliver H. Payne. It was established in New York because Ithaca, where the main campus is located, was deemed too small to offer adequate clinical training opportunities. A branch of the school operated in Stimson Hall on the main campus. The two-year Ithaca course paralleled the first two years of the New York school. It closed in 1938 due to declining enrollment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Weill Medical College: Our years of achievement )〕 In 1927, William Payne Whitney's $27 million donation led to the building of the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic, which became the name for Cornell's large psychiatric effort. That same year, the college became affiliated with New York Hospital and the two institutions moved to their current joint campus in 1932. The hospital's Training School for Nurses became affiliated with the university in 1942, operating as the Cornell Nursing School until it closed in 1979.〔 In 1998, Cornell University Medical College's affiliate hospital, New York Hospital, merged with Presbyterian Hospital (the affiliate hospital for Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons). The combined institution operates today as NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Despite the clinical alliance, the faculty and instructional functions of the Cornell and Columbia units remain distinct and independent. Multiple fellowships and clinical programs have merged, however, and the institutions are continuing in their efforts to bring together departments, which could enhance academic efforts, reduce costs, and increase public recognition. All hospitals in the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System are affiliated with one of the two colleges. Also in 1998, the medical college was renamed as ''Weill Medical College of Cornell University'' after receiving a substantial endowment from Sanford I. Weill, then Chairman of Citigroup.〔 In 2015, it renamed itself to simply ''Weill Cornell Medicine'' to reflect an expansion of focus beyond the medical school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://weill.cornell.edu/news/pr/2015/10/new-weill-cornell-medicine-name-announced.html )〕 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「Weill Cornell Medicine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
