About Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Vision & Mission
For more than 70 years, our faculty and staff have set the standard for excellence in medical and graduate education, cutting-edge research, and patient-centered clinical care. Our research enterprise, long a fundamental strength, drives innovation from the lab to the clinic to the community. We are honored to be based in the Bronx, one of the most dynamic and resilient corners of the country, and to continuously advance our historic commitment to our community.
Nuestra visión: Transformar la salud tanto en el Bronx como en otros distritos a través de avances científicos, innovación educativa y alianzas comunitarias.
Nuestra misión: Comprometernos con una excepcional atención médica de calidad para todos, con un profundo sentido de responsabilidad hacia nuestra comunidad. En Einstein impulsamos el descubrimiento científico y formamos líderes compasivos en los campos de la salud y la ciencia.

Educación
El Albert Einstein College of Medicine ofrece uno de los programas de educación médica más grandes del país. Durante el año académico 2024-2025, el College of Medicine albergará a 712 estudiantes de medicina, 226 estudiantes de doctorado, 112 estudiantes del programa combinado MD-PhD, y 240 investigadores posdoctorales en nuestro Instituto Belfer de Estudios Biomédicos Avanzados. Más de 10,000 egresados de Einstein se encuentran entre los médicos, científicos biomédicos y educadores médicos más destacados del país.
Cuando el College of Medicine abrió sus puertas en 1955, el New York Times ya señalaba que “el distinguido y talentoso profesorado de la nueva escuela de medicina asegura a la institución un lugar entre las grandes escuelas de medicina del mundo”. Esta profecía se ha ido cumpliendo con creces a lo largo de los años.
Among its pioneering educational initiatives, Einstein was one of the first major medical schools to integrate bedside experience with learning, bringing first-year students into contact with patients and linking classroom study to case experience. Einstein also led the way in developing bioethics as an accepted academic discipline in medical school curricula, was the first private medical school in New York City to establish an academic department of family medicine, and was the first to create a residency program in internal medicine with an emphasis on women’s health.
In addition to its M.D. program, the College of Medicine offers programs for earning a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences, a joint M.D.-Ph.D., an M.S. in clinical research, and in collaboration with Cardozo Law, an M.S. in bioethics.

Investigación
While education is at the heart of Einstein’s mission, it is biomedical research that drives the College of Medicine’s growth. Einstein has 2,000 full-time faculty members located on its Jack and Pearl Resnick campus, and at Montefiore and its other clinical affiliates.
Einstein’s relationship with Montefiore supports a longstanding focus on bench-to-bedside research, through which discoveries in Einstein’s laboratories lead to therapies and treatments for patients on an accelerated timetable.
Long a national leader in biomedical research support from the Federal government, Einstein receives $200 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health each year. This includes the funding for major research centers at Einstein in aging, intellectual development disorders, diabetes, cancer, clinical and translational research, liver disease and AIDS. Other areas of focus include developmental brain research, neuroscience, cardiac disease, and initiatives to reduce and eliminate health disparities.
