Education
Through the 1990s the Department continued to teach medical students, house officers, and post-graduate specialty fellows; this encompasses up to 11 years of physician training. In collaboration with basic science departments, pre- and postdoctoral Ph.D. trainees also receive education and experience in its laboratories.
In the 1990s the department continued to teach medical students in each of the four years of medical school. It provided leaders and instructors in many of the courses in the first two years. All students took the 10-week medicine core clerkship in the third year, and the Department provided separate rotations in ambulatory care, electives in the medicine subspecialties, and a medicine subinternship in the fourth year.
All of these activities continue and comprise a heavy teaching responsibility. In recognition of the importance of medical student teaching, Louis Sherwood appointed a Medical Student Education leader, William Frishman. This effort was expanded later into the Undergraduate Education Committee, headed by Shirley Levine.

The Albert Einstein College
of Medicine is responsible for ensuring that all students learn in an ethical
and humanistic environment that fosters collegiality.
What is an optimal Learning Environment?
While the facilities and
tools available for learning such as up-to-date classrooms and audiovisual
aids, or hospitals that are well equipped create the back-bone for medical
education, interpersonal interactions are at the very heart of an effective and
meaningful educational experience.
We provide this learning
environment by ensuring that professionalism pervades the educational
experience. This is accomplished by fostering ethical, respectful, humanistic
and caring behavior among students, and between students, faculty, residents
and ancillary staff. Exemplary teaching is rewarded and those who threaten the
positive learning environment receive remediation.
