The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a private medical school in New York City. Founded in 1953, Einstein is an independent degree-granting institution within the Montefiore Einstein Health System.

Einstein hosts MD, PhD, and masters programs. Admission to its MD program is highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 1.85% in 2024. Joint masters are offered with the City University of New York and Yeshiva University's Cardozo School of Law. Einstein is also home to one of the first three Medical Scientist Training Programs inaugurated in 1964. This joint MD/PhD program has received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health.

Planning for the college was initiated by Yeshiva University President Samuel Belkin in 1945. Physicist Albert Einstein, who noted that the college would be unique as it would provide medical training to "students of all creeds and races",{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}} lent his name to the institution. Due to Yeshiva's financial difficulties, Einstein was transferred to Montefiore in 2015. Following a $1 billion donation to the school by Ruth Gottesman in 2024, Einstein became tuition-free for all MD students.

Einstein houses several NIH-designated centers and has contributed to major medical advances, including the first coronary artery bypass surgery. Faculty members have included 18 members of the National Academy of Sciences, three National Medal of Science recipients, and neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks. Alumni have made significant scientific contributions and include seven members of the National Academy of Sciences, two Howard Hughes Medical Investigators, a MacArthur Fellow, a National Medal of Science awardee, a National Medal of Technology recipient, and one governor.

In 1945, Yeshiva University President Samuel Belkin began planning a new medical school.{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}}{{sfn|A brief history, Montefiore Einstein}}{{efn|group=note|It is unclear if someone besides Belkin first initiated the campaign for Yeshiva to build a medical school, with Jaffé noting that it was likely "multifactorial". Key individuals were gastroenterologist Elihu Katz and biologist Shelley Saphine. As early as the 1930s, attorney Max Steuer had approached Yeshiva with plans to construct a new medical school, but nothing came of it due to Yeshiva's financial difficulties.{{sfn|Jaffé|1996|p=24}}}} Under his urging, Yeshiva's Board of Trustees negotiated with the New York State Board of Regents to expand the university's charter to grant MD degrees, finalized in December 1950.{{sfn|A brief history, Montefiore Einstein}}{{sfn|Jaffé|1996|pp=24-25}}

In 1951, physicist Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Belkin lauding the planned school, writing that it was "of the greatest importance to American Jewry" and would "welcome students of all creeds and races". He became an honorary chairman for the medical school campaign, alongside former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, New York Governor Thomas Dewey, and Richard Nixon.{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}}

Einstein was initially reluctant to associate his name with the school—he had recently refused to lend his name to Brandeis University and had declined to become the second president of Israel—and instead suggested that it be named for the Jewish physician Maimonides.{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}}{{sfn|Fines|1953}}{{sfn|Spiegel|1973}} Two years later, at an event marking his 74th birthday, March 14, 1953, Einstein agreed to lend his name to the medical school.{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}}{{sfn|Berman|2016}}{{efn|group=note|The exact reason for Einstein' decision is unclear. According to Yeshiva University, it may have been a reaction to antisemitic quotas in medical schools and a way to preserve his legacy amidst his declining health.{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}}}} At the gathering—his only public appearance in 22 years at the Institute for Advanced Study—Einstein told The New York Times that "physics has favored medicine by giving civilized man confidence in the scientific method."{{sfn|Fines|1953}}{{sfn|Jaffé|1996|p=28}} In 1954, the college sponsored the awarding of that year's Albert Einstein Award to physicist Richard Feynman and, on his 75th birthday, gifted Einstein a Festschrift with contributions from ten Nobel laureates, Israeli Prime Minister Moshe Sharett, and President Harry S. Truman, among others.{{sfn|Yeshiva University 'Festschrift'}}{{sfn|Sotheby's}} Einstein died on April 18, 1955, months prior to the institution's dedication and opening.{{sfn|Yeshiva University Libraries}}

Although affiliation with Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan was considered, a site in the Bronx's Morris Park was selected due to ample land and proximity to the adjacent Bronx Municipal Hospital then under construction.{{sfn|Jaffé|1996|p=26}} Construction of the first medical school building—now the Leo Forchheimer Medical Sciences Building—began in October 1953, with a contemporary design of steel and concrete.{{sfn|Fines|1953}}{{sfn|Jaffé|1996|p=29}} On September 12, 1955, Einstein welcomed its first class of 56 students in the partially completed Forchheimer Building.{{sfn|A brief history, Montefiore Einstein}}{{sfn|Fulop|2004|p=53}} Einstein was the first new medical school to open in New York City since 1897 and the first in the United States to open under Jewish auspices.{{sfn|Jaffé|1996|p=23}}{{sfn|The New York Times 1994}}

In 1990, following cumulative $8.5 million donations by Bronx businessman Jack Resnick, Einstein's campus was designated as the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus.{{sfn|Tomasson|1990}} Six years later, Einstein built a 10-story research complex, the Samuel H. and Rachel Golding Building.{{sfn|A brief history, Montefiore Einstein}}

In 2002, the college opened the three-story Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center. Equipped with magnetic resonance equipment beyond conventional MRI, the center was the only such facility in the New York metropolitan area and one of six in the world upon opening.{{sfn|The New York Times 2002}}

In 2008, Einstein opened a $225 million research complex, the Price Center.{{sfn|New York Daily News}} This expansion doubled the size of Einstein's campus to nearly 40 acres.{{sfn|Spiegel|2008|p=524}} Also that year, the college replaced its old logo—a "staid" portrait of Albert Einstein—with a stylized symbol that represents the helical structure of DNA, a notable spiral staircase on campus, and "E" for Einstein.{{sfn|New York Daily News}}

In 2024, Ruth Gottesman—a long-time professor at the medical school and head of the board of trustees—donated $1 billion to the school to make tuition free for all students in perpetuity.{{sfn|Goldstein|2024}}{{sfn|Oladipo|2024}} The contribution also stipulated that the college never change its name. The donation was one of the largest to any educational institution, and, according to The New York Times, likely the largest donation to any medical school.{{sfn|Goldstein|2024}}

Organization and affiliations

Einstein comprises 30 academic departments, spanning clinical care and both basic and translational research.{{sfn|Academic Departments & Centers}} The college's chief academic officer is the Marilyn and Stanley M.
