We are very proud of both our clinical and research departments. Einstein consistently ranks among the nation's leaders in research support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In 2007, the College of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals, received more than $180 million in NIH research funds. Einstein also has earned "Center of Excellence" designation from the NIH in five major biomedical disciplines--brain research, cancer, diabetes, liver disease, AIDS, and sickle cell disease. In October 2006, Einstein was one of only 4 institutions nationwide to receive NIH funds to study health and disease in Hispanic/Latino populations. In addition, we have one of the largest Global Health Fellowship Programs in the country (40% of our students participate).
Diversity, community, research and clinical medicine go hand-in-hand at Einstein. (We suggest the perusal of the Association of American Medical College's website for "Aspiring Doctors." ) We are proud to host the first and only Hispanic Center of Excellence in NYS. The Center helps to bridge the gap between the Latino and underserved populations in the Bronx, and plays a vital role in the training of faculty and future doctors who will be culturally-sensitive patient-advocates, and who will bridge the language barrier. Please read more about the Center.
We are expanding our physical facilities in order to accommodate development of new areas of research into the basic mechanisms of disease. The state-of-the-art Michael F. Price Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine and the Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion has just been opened.
The Library's entire main floor has undergone renovation to provide an attractive environment for individual or group study, and for socialization 24/7. In addition, plans are underway for a new 6000 square foot Clinical Skills Center.
If you are a college student who is interested in finding a summer program, or a program during the year that would enhance your clinical and/or research skills, please peruse our: Summer/Preparatory Programs
If you are one-year away from applying, and would like to visit us during the months of September through April, please contact us at admissions@aecom.yu.edu, and let us know your name, undergraduate college and the day you would like to join us for the daily applicant luncheon and tour that is hosted by our students for applicants visiting for their interview.
If you are interested in the combined M.D./Ph.D. Program, please continue to read through this site and then click here. If you are applying to the M.D./Ph.D., you will need to complete a secondary application for the regular M.D. program and another for the combined degree program. Instructions for completion of both will be sent after receipt of an AMCAS application. If there is a particular area of research that you are interested in, please click here.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) is a special place. It is a school where the learning of both the art and the science of medicine occurs in a friendly, non-threatening environment; an institution where student and faculty form supportive, nurturing bonds that last not just through medical school but into the student’s post graduate career as well. Einstein is a place where the administration constantly “takes the pulse” of the student body and listens to suggestions, responding when appropriate by making changes in the curriculum. It is a school where outstanding clinicians and scientists are born.
We hope that this site will answer all your questions. If it does not, we invite you to contact us at 718-430-2106 or at admissions@aecom.yu.edu.
We wish you much success with the attainment of your goals and shall look forward to perhaps meeting you one day in person at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
