Welcome to the MSTP @ AECOM!

The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) is one of the nation's oldest. From the start, our goal has been to train academic medicine's future leaders. Continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1964, the Einstein MSTP has a long list of illustrious Alumni with careers spanning the spectrum from basic science research to clinical medicine and many variations in between.

Today, the Einstein MSTP is still unique. Larger than most other MSTPs, it fosters a strong academic and social community within the college. While large enough to be an independent academic unit, the program is still small enough to provide students with the individual attention their unique careers require.

The current training program recognizes that the successful physician-scientist training is not simply medical school plus graduate training. The program integrates MSTP-specific courses with medical and graduate courses, during the first two years of preclinical course work. Integration continues during the PhD thesis research years through weekly involvement in the MSTP Continuity Clinic and with monthly Clinical Pathological Conferences and MSTP Career Paths Seminars. This combination has resulted in outstanding publications (Latest Publications), competitive residency placement (Match Results), and successful academic careers (Alumni) for its 314 graduates.

Price Center for Genetic & Translational Medicine

The newly open Michael F. Price Center for Genetic and Translational Medicine in the Harold and Muriel Block Research Pavilion Center houses 40 labs. Each floor contains space for both computational and wet-lab bench researchers to increase opportunities for collaboration. The Price Center contains a 100 seat auditorium, a P3 biosafety facility for infectious disease research, chemical synthesis facilities for a chemical biology program and the Biophotonics Center for innovative reseach in imaging technologies.

Student Profile

Stefanie RaderThe MSTP anatomy class is great. We have a 1:4 ratio of faculty to students in lab and 1:12 in lectures. We get personalized attention from the faculty, and the timing of the course allows us to take graduate school courses during the first year of the program.
