The Department of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine pursues a mission that is multifaceted and challenging. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality clinical care to our patients while at the same time conducting cutting-edge biomedical research targeting diseases that affect infants, children and adolescents and integrating the latest scientific and medical advances into training the next generation of pediatricians. This is an exciting time in academic medicine, with significant breakthroughs in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of diseases rapidly being translated into the development of innovative therapies for our pediatric patients. Students, residents and fellows in our program, working with our diverse faculty of outstanding basic scientists, clinical investigators, clinical specialists, behavioral scientists and pediatricians, are integral participants in these efforts, at both the bench and the bedside. Together we are pursuing our ultimate mission, to further our understanding of disease in order to improve the treatment of our infant, child and adolescent patients.

     The academic Department of Pediatrics of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine includes academic programs at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center (CHAM), Jacobi Medical Center, Schneider Children’s Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center.
