Arnold W. Cohen, MD

Welcome to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Albert Einstein Medical Center. As you explore our residency program web site, I hope you gain an in-depth understanding of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's commitment to patient care, education, research and scholarship.

Albert Einstein Medical Center, located in North Philadelphia, is the largest community-based academic medical center in the region.  Einstein was originally founded at the end of the Civil War as Philadelphia's Jewish Hospital with a mission to care for the disenfranchised beyond the Jewish community - to care for all persons in need regardless of their race, nationality or creed. For over one hundred years, our legacy of caring has remained the same even as the hospital has grown from a 20-bed facility into a major full-service academic healthcare network sponsoring 23 accredited residency and fellowship training programs and over 350 residents.  As a major affiliate to Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson Medical College, we continuously provide clinical training experiences for over 400 Jefferson medical students annually.  

I would encourage you to browse the About Einstein and Einstein Highlights sections of the Residency/Education site to learn more about the broad scope of our Network and its programs.  Of special interest for applicants interested in obstetrics and gynecology residency training is our recently renovated Emergency Department, a state-of-the-art facility and Level I Trauma Center, which sees over 75,000 patients annually and provides ample educational opportunities and exposure to obstetric and gynecologic cases.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology operates upon a foundation of excellence in patient care.  Two advanced antepartum testing units and a new electronic medical records system are at the forefront of our ability to provide excellent clinical care to our patients.  Active programs of scholarship and research complement the clinical experience and include a new surgical teaching laboratory. 

Please take a moment to review our entire residency program and call, write or send e-mail if you have any questions. We look forward to having residents who are as excited about learning as we are about being able to teach and work at Einstein. Information on how to contact our program may be found in the Application Information section.
