Albert Einstein Medical Center is a 440-bed community teaching hospital located four miles north of downtown Philadelphia.
Established in 1865, Einstein has a long-standing commitment to providing medical services to its community and to educating
future practicing physicians.
The Student Guide to Albert Einstein Medical Center provides detailed descriptions of all 3rd and 4th year rotations offered to Jefferson medical students.
A strong commitment to community
Our 35-acre campus encompasses Albert Einstein Medical Center’s 440-bed acute care hospital, which includes a Level I Regional
Trauma Center and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 102-bed Willowcrest Center for Subacute Care and 153-bed MossRehab.
Belmont Center for Comprehensive Treatment, a psychiatric hospital, and Germantown Community Health Services are located in
close proximity to the main campus and round out Einstein’s broad scope of services.
As the needs of our community have evolved and grown, so has Albert Einstein Medical Center. Special facilities on campus
include the Minerva & Fred Braemer Heart Center, Center for Orthopaedic Sciences, Centers for Organ Disease and Transplantation,
Community Practice Center, Cancer Center, Marion-Louise Saltzman Women’s Center, and the Drucker Brain Injury Center.
Within this environment, more than 325 residents across 23 residency and fellowship programs share in the learning process.
Our medical community includes over 600 physicians and dentists within Einstein Healthcare Network and additional 1200 affiliated
physicians.
A strong commitment to education
Albert Einstein Medical Center offers residents and students the resources and advantages of a major teaching institution,
without losing sight of the individual. Although we are among the largest tertiary care facilities in Pennsylvania, the Medical
Center is a place where each resident and student’s individual educational pursuits are of prime importance. Our mission is
to prepare residents fully for their chosen career path and to prepare students fully for the rigors and challenges of clinical
practice and residency training.
A strong affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University
Albert Einstein Medical Center was excited to become a major teaching affiliate of Thomas Jefferson University in July 2000.
As such, Jefferson medical students can benefit from the positive synergy created between both institutions. Einstein participates
in Jefferson’s physical diagnosis course for second year medical students and provides a broad spectrum of clinical clerkships
and elective rotations for third and fourth year medical students. Einstein faculty members actively participate in both resident
and student education. In addition, Einstein residents play a vital role in the teaching and supervision of medical students.
