About the School
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.
Curriculum
The 19-month long pre-clerkship curriculum is devoted primarily to interdisciplinary biomedical science courses taking place in lecture halls, conference rooms and laboratories. There are also courses in which students interact with patients, learn the basics of patient-doctor communication, acquire physical examination and diagnostic skills, study medical ethics, and learn how psychosocial and cultural factors affect patient behavior. Medical Spanish courses are offered in both first and second year as electives. During the last two years of the curriculum, students learn how to apply biomedical science knowledge and clinical skills to problems of human disease and illness in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The third year consists of clerkships in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, and Radiology; and the fourth year consists of a required Sub-internship in Medicine or Pediatrics, clerkships in Neurology and Ambulatory Care, and 7 months of electives. Small-group case based conferences dealing with issues of prevention, ethics and professionalism are scheduled throughout the clerkship year.
