What is the relationship between Mount Sinai and New York University?
Mount Sinai School of Medicine and New York University School of Medicine are completely independent entities, each having its own Dean and Board of Trustees. In July 1999, Mount Sinai School of Medicine changed its academic affiliation to New York University and, hence, its diplomas read Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York University. However, all curricular development and student rotations are unique to each institution. The students of each school have always been able to, and will continue to be able to, schedule electives at the other school, just as they can schedule away electives at any LCME accredited school.
