Prospective students apply directly to the Ph.D. program or the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), not to a specific department. Once admitted, students complete different laboratory rotations in any of our more than 200 biomedical research
laboratories. This allows students to experience the breadth of
scientific inquiry at Einstein and to identify the area of research that
most intrigues them – before committing to a particular laboratory for
thesis research.
Accepted students receive full tuition remission, a generous stipend of
$31,300 per year, and a benefits package that includes health insurance
and free membership in the on-campus athletics facility.
