History Founded in 1931 as the Bronx campus of Hunter College. Established in 1968 as an independent college of The City University of New York and named for Herbert H. Lehman, the great New York Governor, U.S. Senator, philanthropist, and humanitarian. During World War II, Lehman's campus became the main national training site for women in the military. For six months in 1946, the campus served as interim headquarters for the newly formed United Nations.
For a decade before the entry of the United States in the Second World War, only women students attended, taking their first two years of study at the Bronx campus and then transferring to Hunter’s Manhattan campus to complete their undergraduate work. Shortly after U.S. entry into the war, the students and faculty vacated the campus and turned over the facilities to the U.S. Navy, which used them as a training station for the newly organized WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). To commemorate this period, the Navy later installed a ship’s bell from the U.S.S. Columbia on the campus.

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.

Yeshiva University's - Sue Golding Graduate Division is located at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461. Since 1957, the Sue Golding Graduate Division of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has provided a stimulating environment in which students acquire the knowledge and skills to attain the PhD and MD / PhD degrees and become independent scientists holding academic and industrial positions worldwide.
The Graduate Division provides an extremely collegial and mentored training experience where you will work personally with advisers at the cutting-edge of disease-relevant research in areas as diverse as genomics/proteomics, stem cell biology, cancer biology, and vaccine development. A great feature of the graduate program is its breadth. Graduate students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine often undertake interdisciplinary projects which draw on the scientific expertise of faculty in the basic science and clinical departments, resulting in faculty and senior graduate students publishing widely and having their work often cited both in professional journals and in the news.
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), established the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) in 1964 to support research training leading to the combined MD/PhD degree. The program was designed to train investigators who could better bridge the gap between basic science and clinical research by providing both graduate training in the biomedical sciences and clinical training offered through medical schools. What began in 1964 with three programs has now grown to almost 40 MSTP programs.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine's MSTP was one of the three original programs started in 1964, and continues its revolutionary and successful tradition. Continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's MSTP is larger than most others of its kind, enabling the program to have an administrative and academic identity. It is still small enough, however, to provide MSTP students with the integrated and individual attention their unique careers require. This combination has resulted in an outstanding record of placing its graduates in highly desirable post-graduate training positions and in successful academic careers.

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.

Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, located on Yeshiva University's Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, developed from the University's School of Education and Community Administration and Graduate School of Education. The School was named in 1965 to honor the vision and generosity of Eugene and Estelle Ferkauf. It later became Ferkauf Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences and Ferkauf Graduate School.
The educational mission of Ferkauf Graduate School is to train highly qualified professional psychologists in the fields of clinical, school and school-clinical child psychology for the doctor of psychology degree; and to train skilled researchers in the fields of developmental and clinical health psychology for the doctor of philosophy degree. To these ends they receive training in the basic skills common to all psychologists, and quality training in the specialty fields to prepare them to apply established knowledge toward prevention and healing, and to advance knowledge in those fields.
Collaborations with urban and rural schools, and health and mental health institutions are well established for all programs, and a joint program with Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) offers clinical health psychology doctoral research opportunities as well as service provider training in this area. Ferkauf has affiliations with the AECOM department of pediatrics and the Rose F. Kennedy Center for Research in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities that provide interdisciplinary training for students.

Yeshiva University's - Sue Golding Graduate Division is located at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461. Since 1957, the Sue Golding Graduate Division of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has provided a stimulating environment in which students acquire the knowledge and skills to attain the PhD and MD / PhD degrees and become independent scientists holding academic and industrial positions worldwide.
The Graduate Division provides an extremely collegial and mentored training experience where you will work personally with advisers at the cutting-edge of disease-relevant research in areas as diverse as genomics/proteomics, stem cell biology, cancer biology, and vaccine development. A great feature of the graduate program is its breadth. Graduate students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine often undertake interdisciplinary projects which draw on the scientific expertise of faculty in the basic science and clinical departments, resulting in faculty and senior graduate students publishing widely and having their work often cited both in professional journals and in the news.
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), established the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) in 1964 to support research training leading to the combined MD/PhD degree. The program was designed to train investigators who could better bridge the gap between basic science and clinical research by providing both graduate training in the biomedical sciences and clinical training offered through medical schools. What began in 1964 with three programs has now grown to almost 40 MSTP programs.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine's MSTP was one of the three original programs started in 1964, and continues its revolutionary and successful tradition. Continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's MSTP is larger than most others of its kind, enabling the program to have an administrative and academic identity. It is still small enough, however, to provide MSTP students with the integrated and individual attention their unique careers require. This combination has resulted in an outstanding record of placing its graduates in highly desirable post-graduate training positions and in successful academic careers.
