The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is one of the nation's premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical investigation. A full-time faculty of more than 2,000 teaches, delivers health care and conducts research in every major biomedical specialty.
From an original class size of 56, the College of Medicine has evolved into one of the largest medical schools in the country. Today, the student body includes 750 M.D. students, 394 Ph.D. students attending the Sue Golding Graduate Division, (117 of whom are in the combined M.D./Ph.D. program), and approximately 360 postdoctoral investigators currently receiving advance training at our Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies. Approximately 7,000 Einstein alumni are among the nation's foremost clinicians, biomedical scientists, and medical educators.
When the medical school opened its doors to its first class in 1955, The New York Times was already noting that "the new medical school's distinguished and talented faculty assured the institution of a place in the ranks of the great medical schools in the world." Among its pioneering educational initiatives, Einstein was among the first of the major medical schools to integrate bedside experience with learning, bringing first-year students into contact with patients and linking classroom study to case experience. In addition, the College of Medicine is widely known for its socially conscious approach to medicine. During the 1970s and 1980s it was a pioneer in the development of medical ethics as an accepted academic discipline in medical school curricula. Einstein was also the first private medical school in New York City to establish an academic Department of Family Medicine (1993), and it created New York's first residency program in internal medicine with an emphasis on women's health (1994).
The medical school is affiliated with five hospital centers: Montefiore Medical Center, The University Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Beth Israel Medical Center, the University Hospital and Manhattan Campus for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, the Manhasset and New Hyde Park campuses of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Jacobi Medical Center; and the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center. It is also affiliated with three mental health facilities and four long-term care facilities. Through its extensive affiliation network, Einstein runs the largest post-graduate medical training program in the United States, offering some 150 residency programs to more than 2,500 physicians in training.
The faculty's consistent high level of scientific achievement resulted in the last year alone in the awarding of more than $152 million in peer-reviewed grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Six major Einstein programs have been designated NIH "Centers of Excellence:" the Albert Einstein Cancer Center, the Brain and Neuroscience Center, the Diabetes Center, the Liver Research Center, the Sickle Cell Center and the Center for Aids Research. In addition, Einstein was the only New York City institution selected to participate in the federally funded mapping of the human genome. The medical school has also established a Center for the Study of Reproductive Biology and Women's Health, with a mission to develop research programs in fundamental issues in female reproductive biology and their applications to clinical areas. The Einstein research centers are integrated with the College's education and training programs, providing the opportunity for students to train in a stimulating environment that reflects the dramatic changing nature of medicine as it advances into the 21st century.
Consistent with its tradition of scientific leadership, Einstein has just broken ground for a new 201,000 square-foot research building. The Michael F. Price Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine will be housed in the new Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion and will contain 40 state-of-the-art research laboratories, nine shared or core facilities, and a 100-seat auditorium. These laboratories and supporting facilities will enable Einstein to bring together world-class scientists and the most advanced technology to uncover the origins of health and disease on the molecular level. In addition, the College of Medicine recently opened its new Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center, one of the nation's most technologically advanced research centers for magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The cutting edge technology in the Gruss Center provides some of the most detailed images ever seen of the anatomy and physiology of living organisms. Together, the Price and Gruss Centers will provide invaluable knowledge that will translate into exceptional clinical applications for the treatment and prevention of disease.
The College of Medicine maintains its special character as a community in which students, faculty and administrators share-on a personal as well as professional basis-the challenges of learning, teaching, providing clinical care to a diverse urban population, managing health care delivery systems, and exploring the newest vistas of biomedical research.

| AECOM: A Brief History |
As early as November, 1948, Yeshiva University President Dr. Samuel Belkin envisioned the creation of a new medical school. Encouraged by influential public figures, he persuaded the Board of Trustees to initiate discussions with the New York State Board of Regents to amend the University's charter to include the granting of the degree of Doctor of Medicine, discussions that were successfully completed on December 15, 1950. In June, 1951, Dr. Belkin and New York City Mayor Vincent Impellitteri entered into an agreement whereby the professional care of all patients in the 1,400-bed Bronx Municipal Hospital Center then under construction would be the responsibility of the faculty of the College of Medicine. On his 74th birthday, March 15, 1953, Professor Albert Einstein formally agreed to permit his name to be used for the first medical school to be built in New York City since 1897.
Ground was broken for the first building, now known as the Leo Forchheimer Medical Sciences Building, in October, 1953. Its partial completion was effected in time to welcome the first class of 53 men and three women medical students and about 75 faculty members on September 12, 1955. Entering class size was progressively increased to its present number of 180 students. The total student body now numbers well over 800, including postgraduates attending the Sue Golding Graduate Division of Medical Sciences and the Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies.
To accommodate the expanding research programs of the College the Ullmann Research Center for Health Sciences was completed in 1964. More efficient and effective coordination of studies into mental retardation was greatly facilitated by the construction in 1970 of the Rose F. Kennedy Center for Research in Mental Retardation and Human Development on the campus of the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center. The Arthur B. and Diane Belfer Educational Center for Health Sciences, which opened in 1972, provided additional laboratories and classrooms for basic science instruction as well as the 260-seat Riklis Auditorium. The Irwin B. and Sylvia Chanin Institute for Cancer Research, devoted exclusively to basic investigations into malignant processes, was opened in 1978. Further enlarging the research capabilities of the College, the Samuel H. and Rachel Golding Building, a 10-story biomedical research facility, opened in 1996.
From the beginning, it has been the University's policy that there be no discrimination in regard to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran or disabled veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, or citizenship status. In recent years, women have comprised over 40 percent of each entering class. Favorable consideration has also been given to older individuals who have achieved success in academic, artistic, service-oriented, or other professional careers.
Sue Golding Graduate Division of Medical Sciences:
The Sue Golding Graduate Division, established in 1957, provides advanced study and research training in the biomedical sciences leading to the Ph.D. degree. In 1964, the Medical Scientist Training Program, leading to both the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, was added.
The Graduate Division includes 10 Ph.D. degree-granting departments:
Anatomy and Structural Biology,Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Developmental and Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Immunology, Molecular Genetics, Molecular Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Pathology, and Physiology and Biophysics.
Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies:
In 1978, the College established the Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies to provide an overall entity for integration and coordination of postdoctoral research and training grant programs in basic and clinical biomedical sciences.
Currently, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service at Jacobi and Beth Israel manage approximately 300 in patients each year and care for over 10,000 outpatients. Additionally, the Service sees a large number of emergency room patients as well as inpatient consult at both clinical campuses. The full scope of the specialty will be taught within the context of a combined M.D./General Surgery Program.
