Albert Einstein Medical Center's heritage is rooted in healing, caring and learning. Our distinguished history extends back
to 1865 with the founding of Einstein Medical Center's forerunner, the Jewish Hospital. Though the healthcare landscape has
changed dramatically since that time, our mission to provide compassionate, high quality healthcare to anyone in need, to
provide medical education and training for the next generation of physicians and to participate in clinical research to enhance
patient care and advance the science of medicine has not changed.
Einstein has a long-standing commitment to providing medical services to its community. Located just four miles north of downtown
Philadelphia, Einstein Medical Center is one of the largest tertiary-care teaching hospitals in the area. We are proud of
our heritage and of the high-volume programs and services we provide to our community.
A strong commitment to community
As the needs of our community have evolved, so has Albert Einstein Medical Center. The medical center is now but one entity
in a network of facilities and programs that offer a solid, secure academic environment for learning and achievement. With
four inpatient facilities housing over 800 beds and several outpatient centers, Einstein Healthcare Network is one of the
most active healthcare providers in the Philadelphia area. Combined, the network encompasses approximately 32,000 inpatient
admissions, 55,000 emergency room visits and 255,000 ambulatory visits per year.
A founding member of the Jefferson Health System
Einstein’s membership with the Jefferson Health System extends our patient base even further. The Jefferson Health System
encompasses Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Frankford Health Care System, Main Line
Health, Magee Rehabilitation Hospital and a number of affiliated hospitals.
Opportunities that reach beyond campus walls
Our 35-acre main 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 147-bed
MossRehab, the Philadelphia region's major source for medical rehabilitation.
Belmont Center for Comprehensive Treatment (inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance abuse care), Einstein Center
One (primary care and specialty physicians), Germantown Community Health Services, and Willow Terrace (a skilled nursing facility)
are located in close proximity to the main campus and round out Einstein’s broad scope of services. Einstein Neighborhood
Health (a network of primary care providers) insures a diverse patient population and case mix for our undergraduate and graduate
education programs.
Albert Einstein Medical Center is a teaching hospital offering a full range of advanced health services. Within this environment,
more than 300 residents across 23 residency and fellowship programs share in the learning process. Our medical community includes
over 300 full-time physicians and dentists and an additional 250 affiliated physicians.
A strong commitment to education
We named the medical center for Albert Einstein, inspired by his brilliance and his humanity. Einstein never lost sight of
the individual, and we have sought to follow his example.
Albert Einstein Medical Center is a place where learning is valued and the individual is respected. Einstein offers residents
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's individual educational
pursuits are of prime importance.
Our mission is to prepare residents fully for their career paths.
Respected and established training programs
Albert Einstein Medical Center is an active participant in the education of new physicians, offering highly regarded residency
and fellowship training programs in many specialty and subspecialty areas.
With its extensive array of services and programs, Einstein Medical Center is positioned to provide depth and diversity in
medical education. We sponsor graduate medical programs spanning more than 20 different medical specialties, as well as dentistry.
Our programs are designed to provide the scope, expertise and hands-on experience it takes to prepare for a career in the
rapidly changing world of modern healthcare delivery.

A strong affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University
At Albert Einstein Medical Center, residents benefit from the medical center's strong affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University
and from the positive synergy created between a major medical institution and a prominent university. Albert Einstein Medical
Center is a major teaching affiliate of Jefferson Medical College, participating in Jefferson’s physical diagnosis course
for second year medical students and providing a broad spectrum of clinical clerkships and elective rotations for third and
fourth year medical students.
Residents at Einstein play a vital role teaching and supervising Jefferson medical students. In addition, Einstein medical
staff members hold faculty appointments at Jefferson and are actively involved in student education.
A strong commitment to research
Einstein Medical Center is a place of discovery and achievement, attracting top professionals from all over the world. Our
commitment to research is reflected in well-funded programs of clinical and scientific research that complement patient care
and medical education.
Einstein has a century-long commitment to clinical research—one that began in 1916 in an effort to control an outbreak of
infantile paralysis. Today, research is a vital component of a three-tiered mission that also includes quality patient care
and education. In fact, more than 250 active clinical trials are underway throughout Albert Einstein Healthcare Network today
