Albert Einstein College of Medicine
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a private medical school in New York City. Founded in 1953, Einstein operates as an independent degree-granting institution as part of the integrated healthcare Montefiore Health System (Montefiore Medicine) and also has affiliations with Jacobi Medical Center.Einstein offers a M.D. program, a Ph.D. program in the biomedical sciences and clinical investigation, and two Master of Science (M.S.) degrees. Admission to Einstein’s MD program is amongst the most competitive in the United States, with an acceptance rate of 1.87% in 2024.
The college arose from plans by Samuel Belkin in the 1940s and was named for physicist Albert Einstein. The college was established expressly to provide medical training to "students of all creeds and races". Scientific feats achieved at Einstein include the first coronary artery bypass surgery. The Montefiore Health System acquired the school in 2015. Einstein was one of the original three MD/PhD programs to be awarded funding from the National Institutes of Health in 1964, and has received continuous funding since then. In 2021, the program enrolled over 100 MD/PhD students. Following a $1 billion donation to the school by Ruth Gottesman in 2024, the school became tuition-free for all MD students.
