Einstein Medical Center is a 440-bed community teaching hospital located four miles north of downtown Philadelphia. Established in 1866, Einstein has a long-standing commitment to providing medical services to its community and to educating future practicing physicians.
A strong commitment to community
Our 35-acre campus encompasses 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, Einstein Medical Center Elkins Park, a 140-bed rehabilitation and acute care 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 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 360 residents across 24 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
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
Einstein Medical Center is a major teaching affiliate of Thomas Jefferson University since July 2000. 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.
