AT OUR SCHOOL,

AND THEN WE BREAK THEM.

WE WRITE THE RULES,

Rules are meant to be broken. Even the ones weve

written ourselves. Its a unique philosophy to be sure.

But, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is

not your typical medical school.

Academic medicin es traditional approach is no

longer viable. Instead of small steps, the goal is

now bold, conceptual leaps. In this new paradigm,

impatience is a virtue. Failure is an integral part of

success, and no journey is as exhilarating as going

out on a limb.

Thus we have embraced collaboration, creativity,

disruptive thinkin g, and entrepreneurship, concepts

one doesnt normally associate with a medical

school. To help foster a culture of innov ation, weve

supported an influx of new talent brilliant minds

that arent saddled with conventional mindsets.

Weve hir ed a host of new peopl e: lead ing

mathematicians, engineers, and computer and data

scientists who believe whats written in stone is just

begging to be rewritten. In that same spirit, we are

constantly recruiting passionate, multi-talented

students who combine a willingness to push the

envelope and question everything with the audacity

to believe the impossible can be made possible.

Needless to say, our efforts are not goingun noticed.

Theyre generating a good deal of buzz thats being

heard loud and clear: Our school is anything but

old-school.

DOCTORSCALL IT AN ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS. BUT THE RELIEF

IT WILL OFFER PEOPLE WITH DIABETES IS REAL.

Freedom. Thats all Alecia Wesner is looking

for. Since she was young, the 42-year-old lighting

designer has lived with Type 1 diabetes. That means

shes dependent on insulin, the hormone required

to turn sugar into energy, and must frequently test

her blood sugar levels by pricking her finger and

monitoring the patterns on a glucose sensor. She

also has to wear a pump that regu lates the delivery of

her insulin. Every day, Alecia has to make t reatment

decisions to keep her blood sugar levels stable, and

the toughest time to do this is at night, when she

should be sleeping.

Recently, Alecia took part in a clinical study held

by The Mount Sinai Hospital to test a revolutionary

new approach to managing her disease. First, Alecia

was outfitted with a different type of glucose sensor

that reported her blood sugar levels every five

minutes. Then, that information was transmitted to

a smartphone preloaded with an advanced algorithm

that calculates exactly how much insulin will be

required and instructs the pump to regulate the

dosage accordingly. Best of all: The entire process

is completed wirelessly, and requires no additional

input or decisions from the patient at any point

during the night.

It worked so well that for the first time in years,

Alecia didnt have to worry about her blood sug ar

levels. And although the system is awaiting fu rther

studies prior to final approval for general usage,

the results have been so positive that some doctors

are already calling it an artificial pancreas. In

other words, its real relief, made possible wit h help

from a real source of hope: Mount Sinai.

When her chest pains star ted, Susan Sperlin gwasnt too worried. Aft er all, the discom fort shewas feelin g never seemed to last for very long.

But when the pains persisted, she finally decidedto go see a doctor, who discovered the cause: ana l m os t c o m pl e t e b l o c k ag e o f S u s an s m a i ncoronary artery.

Her doctor referred her to The Mount SinaiHospital, where specialists quickly realized that

Susan would need a stent to keep her artery open.But first they had to clear out plaque deposits thathad calcified on the arterys walls. They decided

to use the Diamondback 360

Coronary OrbitalAth erect omy Syst em, a new tech nique recen tlyapproved by the FDA that uses a rotat ing diamond-coated crown to sand away arter ial plaque.

The procedure worked perfectly. It was a happyoutcome for Susan, who was back on her feet the

following day. And it was yet another success storyfor Mount Sinai Hearts Cardiac CatheterizationLaboratory, which recently received the highest

two-star safety ratin g by the New York Departmentof Health for percutaneous coronary interventions(PCI) overall and in non-emergency cases.

I n f a c t , 2 01 5 m a r k s t h e 1 7 t h c o n s e cu t i v eye ar t ha t t he Mo un t Si n a i C at he te ri za t io nLaboratory or its physicians have been awarded a

prestigious two-star designation for sa fety ratesthat significantly exceed the statewide average.

In other words, its advanced care from a team

of experts with a proven record of success. Thatssomething more valuable than any diamond.

For you. For life.
