Strategic Plan

Forging Our Future Together, Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s strategic plan, establishes a shared direction for advancing our work in science, education and health. The plan is grounded in Einstein’s vision, mission and values, which express who we are, what we aspire to achieve and the principles that guide our work. 

Four strategic pillars—Discovery, Education, Health Equity and People—translate these enduring commitments into institutional priorities. Together, they guide our efforts to strengthen our research enterprise, educate compassionate lifelong learners, advance health in the Bronx and beyond, and build a flourishing Einstein community.

Discovery

Energize and synergize Einstein’s research enterprise.

Discovery is foundational to Einstein’s identity. The depth of our scientific expertise is considerable, and the breadth of our research enterprise is not only distinctive but a core strength. The Discovery pillar builds on our successes in important ways, while driving greater integration between basic and clinical research. Through deeper approaches to multidisciplinary science, including key investments in people and infrastructure, Einstein aims to further its standing as a preeminent institution for the advancement of scientific knowledge.

Health Equity

Advance health in the Bronx and beyond.

Einstein’s commitment to improving the health of our Bronx community members traces back decades and is a defining element of what makes us unique. Centering health equity in our education, research and culture deepens the positive impact Einstein can make, both locally and beyond.

People

Build a flourishing Einstein community.

People are Einstein’s single greatest resource. From education to discovery, facilities to administration, and students through tenured professors, our ambition is to make Einstein a place where people thrive and succeed. The strategy hinges on a simple but powerful concept: to help people bring their best selves to their roles and to do their best work requires support, collaboration, innovation and development.
