Multidisciplinary Research Programs

Einstein has a special and deeply rooted commitment to the value and process of multidisciplinary research programs, both fundamental and clinically oriented. That commitment is manifest in such well-established activities as those carried on by investigators involved in cancer research at our NCI-designated Albert Einstein Cancer Center, liver research at the medical school's Bessin Liver Center, the neurosciences at the Rose F. Kennedy Center for Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, diabetes at the Diabetes Research and Training Center, sickle cell research at The Sickle Cell Center, gerontology at the Jack and Pearl Resnick Gerontology Center, AIDS at the Center for AIDS Research, and general clinical research at the General Clinical Research Center.  Top

Clinical Facilities

In order to assure the highest quality and broadest possible array of clinical training opportunities for its students, the College of Medicine has academic affiliation agreements with five of the largest voluntary and municipal hospitals in New York comprising more than 6,000 beds. The medical school also has affiliations with numerous long-term and other health care facilities. Through these varied clinical affiliations, Einstein medical students see patients from a wide range of economic, ethnic and racial groupings an unusual opportunity available only in an urban setting with multiple training sites.  Top 

Hospital Affiliations

Jacobi Medical Center, an acute care public hospital with more than 500 beds, that serves as a community hospital, trauma and burn center and referral center for specialized conditions. It cares for a population of more than 650,000 and has been  affiliated with the College of Medicine since both institutions began operations in 1955.

Montefiore Medical Center, the University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with over 43,000 admissions annually and the medical school's primary affiliate since 1963. Through its Moses and Weiler Hospital divisions, Montefiore is the major health care provider for 1.2 million Bronx residents and a tertiary care referral center for patients from elsewhere. Among its many pioneering programs, Montefiore developed the nation's first hospital-based home care program.

North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System, one of the nation's largest healthcare systems, is comprised of 16 hospitals, including three tertiary hospitals, a nationally recognized children's hospital, and a psychiatric facility, hospice, and home care services, a major medical research institute and many other health-related facilities. By virtue of a recently executed affiliation agreement, the College's long-standing relationship with Long Island Jewish Medical Center has been expanded to provide an academic relationship with the entire North Shore-Long Island Jewish System, now serving as the Manhasset and New Hyde Park Campuses of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
