National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2. U. S. The N. I. H. AIDS.[3]History[edit]Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of Yeshiva University, began planning a new medical school as early as 1. Six years later, Dr. Belkin and New York City Mayor.

Vincent Impellitteri entered into an agreement to begin its construction with funding from Henry H. Minskoff.[4] Around the same time, world- renowned physicist and humanitarian Albert Einstein sent a letter to Dr. Belkin. He remarked that such an endeavor would be "unique" in that the school would "welcome students of all creeds and races".[5] Two years later, on his 7.

March 1. 4, 1. 95. Albert Einstein agreed to have his name attached to the medical school. The first classes began September 1.

It was the first new medical school to open in New York City since 1. The Sue Golding Graduate Division was established in 1. Ph. D. degrees in biomedical disciplines.[6] The Medical Scientist Training Program, a combined M. D.- Ph. D. program, was started 1.

The Clinical Research Training Program, which confers M. S. degrees in clinical research methods, began in July 1. Notable research and achievements[edit]. The Michael F. Price Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine and Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion, 2. Einstein has been the site of major medical achievements and accomplishments, including: [9]In 1.

Einstein was the first medical school in the United States to establish a Department of Genetics. In 1. 96. 5, Einstein opened one of the first General Clinical Research Centers in the U. S., funded by the N. I. H. The residency program in Social Medicine was established in 1. In 1. 97. 4, Einstein's Liver Research Center — now the Marion Bessin Liver Research Center — became the first institute in the United States for the study of liver disease and injury. In 1. 97. 6, researchers at Einstein identified the mechanism of action of Taxol, an important cancer drug.

Susan B. Horwitz, Ph. D.)In 1. 97. 8, Einstein was designated a Diabetes Research and Training Center, one of seven in the U. S. Prominent scientists involved in research on the insulin receptor, the mechanisms of diabetes complications, glucose toxicity, control of metabolism by the brain, and hypoglycemia have done research there. In 1. 98. 8, one of the first Centers for AIDS Research in the country funded by the N. I. H. was created at Einstein. Researchers were among the first to identify pediatric AIDS as a distinct disease and established the first day- care center in the world for children with AIDS.

Arye Rubinstein, M. D.)In 1. 99. 4, Einstein became the only New York City medical school selected by the N. I. H. to participate in the Women's Health Initiative, the largest research study of women's health ever undertaken. Sylvia Wassertheil- Smoller, Ph. D., principal investigator)In 2. Einstein became the only medical institution in the Northeast to serve as a research site for the Hispanic Community Health Study, the largest research study of Hispanic health ever conducted.

Sylvia Wassertheil- Smoller, Ph. D., principal investigator)Einstein researchers demonstrated the association between reduced levels of high- density lipoproteins (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, and heart disease. Einstein researchers identified a neurotransmitter missing from the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a finding that influenced much subsequent Alzheimer's disease research. Peter Davies, Ph. D.)Researchers at Einstein discovered structural abnormalities of brain cells that explain deficiencies in cognitive development, greatly contributing to the understanding of mental retardation. Dominick P. Purpura, M.

D.)Einstein researchers helped discover the mechanisms responsible for the diversity of antibodies and their precision in immune responses. Matthew D. Scharff, M. D.)Scientists at Einstein pioneered research that has led to improved methods of avoiding organ transplant rejection. Stanley G. Nathenson, M.

D.)Einstein researchers have conducted important epidemiologic research in migraines and other types of headaches. Richard B. Lipton, M. Ravenswood Full Movie here. D.)The Division of Substance Abuse is the largest addiction treatment program in the Bronx, the second largest public treatment program in New York State, and the largest in the world operating under the auspices of a medical school.

It serves more than 3,6. Division’s Chemical Dependency Wellness Services program in facilities located in the North and South Bronx. Allegations of discrimination[edit]The College of Medicine has been the center of several allegations of discrimination.

In 1. 99. 4, Einstein was sued by Heidi Weissmann, a researcher in nuclear medicine and former associate professor of radiology, for sexual discrimination for not promoting her due to gender bias. The case was settled for $9. In 1. 99. 8, Yeshiva University and Einstein were sued by the American Civil Liberties Union for discrimination of two medical students over their sexual orientation by not allowing their non- student, non- married partners to live with them in student housing.[1. Transfer from Yeshiva University to Montefiore Health System[edit]In February 2. Yeshiva University announced the transfer of ownership of Einstein to the Montefiore Health System, in order to eliminate a large deficit from the university's financial statements. The medical school accounted for approximately two- thirds of the university's annual operating deficits, which had reached about $1. On September 9, 2.

Yeshiva and Montefiore was finalized, and financial and operational control of Albert Einstein College of Medicine was transferred to Montefiore.[1. Yeshiva University plans to continue to grant Einstein's degrees until 2. Einstein's application for its own degree- granting authority is expected to be approved.[1.

Academic programs[edit]The school offers M. D. and Ph. D. degrees and has a Medical Scientist Training Program that gives combined M. D.- Ph. D. degrees.

Students pursuing Ph. D. or M. D.- Ph. D. Einstein also offers M.

S. degrees in clinical research methods and in bioethics. The school is well known for promoting community medical awareness, and for humanism in social, ethical, and medical realms through its hospital affiliations, free Einstein Community Health Outreach clinic, and Bronx community health fairs.
