RESEARCH
The Jacobi Department of Medicine's close affiliation with the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine affords many opportunities for research.
Clinical or laboratory research projects are generally undertaken during
elective time in the second and third years of residency.
Our close affiliation with the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine affords many opportunities for research.
Clinical or laboratory research projects are generally undertaken during

Through the years, the Department of Medicine has forged close ties
with leading basic science and clinical science investigators in the
College of Medicine . As such, our residents have been able to perform
high quality research with nationally and internationally recognized
experts in nearly every sub-specialty of Internal Medicine.
Many of our residents have authored papers in top ranking scientific
journals, and have frequently taken prizes at national scientific meetings.
Our commitment to research is emphasized by the fact that the majority
of our residents choose to spend their elective time pursuing research
projects.
On the Jacobi campus, the new Price Center for Translational and Molecular
Biology Research is evidence of Einstein's continuing commitment to excellence
in Medical Research.
MEDICAL SCIENTIST PATHWAY For those residents who have a strong desire to enter a career in academic
medicine, Jacobi Medical Center offers the Medical Scientist Pathway
(MSP). This innovative program allows motivated residents to satisfy
the requirements for Board Eligibility in Internal Medicine in two rather
than three years. Following this abbreviated clinical program, the resident
enters the lab of a chosen faculty mentor in a medical sub-specialty
(Cardiology, Hematology/Oncology, Allergy, etc.) for a period of approximately
three years. Afterwards, the resident enters an accelerated Fellowship
program which, when complete, allows the resident to become Board Certified
in his or her chosen sub-specialty. This rigorous program provides excellent
research and clinical training, and prepares the graduate to enter the
competitive environment of Academic Medicine. Most graduates of the MSP
program have gone on to have productive careers at leading Academic Medical
Centers across the country.
