M.D. Curriculum

The M.D. curriculum at Albert Einstein College of Medicine provides students in our M.D. program with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in medicine, while offering flexibility to participate in dual degree programs and global health learning and immersion experiences. Our M.D. curriculum incorporates a solid foundation in the biomedical, clinical, and health systems sciences with rigorous, hands-on clinical training in both private and public health systems, opportunities to pursue scholarly and research interests, and a commitment to social justice.

Einstein is proud to be a national leader in health equity education, deeply incorporating social and structural determinants of health concepts into our M.D. curriculum and demonstrating the value of this education in patient care. We continue to provide unmatched opportunities for our students to collaborate with local community-based organizations to improve healthcare for Bronx residents through a four-year service-learning course that all students take. At every stage of medical training at Einstein, we encourage students to learn not only from our expert clinical and research faculty, but also from community members and one another with cultural humility, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to excellence, growth, and social justice.
