Mount Sinai School of Medicine is a medical school found in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The official name is Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York University due to its academic affiliation with New York University (NYU). However, Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) is independent of NYU; that is, MSSM has its own facilities, board of trustees, administration, student body, faculty, admissions offices, tuition fees, and endowment. MSSM also raises its own funds.

MSSM and the Mount Sinai Hospital occupy a four-block area adjacent to Central Park in the community of Carnegie Hill. MSSM and Mount Sinai Hospital comprise the Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Mount Sinai Hospital was established in 1852 as the Jews' Hospital in the City of New York, but another century would pass before a school of medicine was created. Throughout the years, Mount Sinai Hospital built a well-earned reputation for the excellence of its patient care and clinical research programs. The laboratories and wards of Mount Sinai Hospital became a mecca for trainees interested in pathophysiology and the "chemistry" of disease.

In the late 1950s, Mount Sinai Hospital was ranked #27 in the United States (U.S.) among institutions receiving National Institute of Health (NIH) funds, an exceptional achievement for a hospital with little academic affiliation. Schools and colleges of medicine from Columbia University to NYU to Cornell University have sought the opportunity to use Mount Sinai Hospital as one of their primary teaching sites. For Mount Sinai Hospital to maintain its leadership position in the areas of clinical medicine and basic science research, to create the first, solely hospital-based medical school in the U.S. was decided. MSSM was chartered in 1963; in 1968, Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York (CUNY) commenced its first class of future physicians. MSSM quickly became one of the leading medical schools in the U.S., with Mount Sinai Hospital gaining international recognition for advances in patient care and the discovery of disease.

After an extensive search and analysis and after some setbacks, on January 1, 1998, NYU's hospital facilities were initially spun off as a separate, non-profit organization, and subsequently were joined with Mount Sinai Hospital to form Mount Sinai-NYU Health, an umbrella organization that joined the two hospitals. Throughout this process, the New York University School of Medicine continued to be a part of NYU; in 1999, with the approval of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, MSSM, itself a separate non-profit organization, changed its academic affiliation from CUNY to NYU. However, the merger between NYU Medical Center and Mount Sinai Medical Center and their facilities has since been dissolved, though MSSM's academic affiliation with NYU remains.
