The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is proud to serve a dynamic community of more than 6,000 medical school alumni. Since the first full 4-year class graduated in 1972, medical school alumni community spans generations and geographies, connected by a shared experience and commitment to advancing science and medicine.

Through mentorship, networking, reunions, alumni recognition, and platforms such as Icahn School Connect, alumni remain engaged with one another, current students, and the School.

Message From the Dean

In medical education, 2025 marked a defining milestone with the continued advancement of ASCEND—one of the most ambitious curricular transformations in the Medical School’s history. ASCEND reflects a belief that future physicians must be adaptable, interdisciplinary thinkers who are comfortable integrating clinical reasoning, science, technology, and human context from the very beginning of their training. In 2026, this approach is extending more deeply into the core clinical clerkships, bringing the same integrative philosophy to students’ formative experiences in patient care.
