Albert Einstein College of Medicine

For more than 70 years, Albert Einstein College of Medicine has been transforming science and medicine. As a premiere academic center for medical education, biomedical research, and clinical investigation, we prepare students to become knowledgeable, compassionate physicians, and pioneering scientific investigators. Einstein�s 24 academic departments and 6 National Institutes of Health-designated research centers foster collaboration across disciplines to solve some of medicine�s most pressing challenges. From cancer and diabetes to aging and neuroscience, our 2,000 faculty members and more than 1,000 medical and graduate students and trainees drive innovation to improve the health of Bronx community, and people around the world. Our long tradition of humanism in medicine began in 1953, when renowned scientist and humanitarian Albert Einstein agreed to lend his name to the first new medical school to be founded in New York City since 1897. We continue to be guided by his values and to pursue our mission to meet the healthcare needs of all individuals.
