This collaboration between Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Cardozo Law builds upon the long history and rich clinical experience of the Montefiore-Einstein bioethics consultation service. With integrated courses designed specifically for the bioethics curriculum, our program provides personal enrichment while equipping you with the skills you need to navigate the nuances of policy and regulation in a changing healthcare environment.

3. Einstein Education
Einstein’s M.D. program prepares tomorrow’s physicians to
excel in both the science and the art of medicine by combining
the pursuit of scientific excellence with compassionate and
humanistic care and the social mission to improve human
health through engagement in our local, national, and global
communities. Our Graduate Programs in the Biomedical
Sciences train some of today’s brightest students to become the
next generation of leading scientific researchers, while our
Medical Scientist Training Program (resulting in both M.D. and
Ph.D. degrees) embraces a comprehensive "bench to bedside"
philosophy to nurture the development of well-rounded
physician-scientists. In all, the College of Medicine offers six
graduate degree programs.

4. Research Round-UpVaccinating Against Herpes Simplex Viruses—Herpes Simplex Virus
(HSV) causes herpes--a common illness involving recurrent oral or
genital skin lesions. There is no effective vaccine to prevent herpes,
andantiviral drugs reduce symptoms but do not eradicate the virus. In
a report in the August 4 JCI Insight, Betsy Herold, M.D., andWilliam
Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D., co-senior authors, and colleagues demonstrate that
a new vaccine candidate developed in their labs (DgD-2) protected
mice infected by genetically diverse strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 that
were provided by Amy Fox, M.D., at the Clinical Virology Lab of
Montefiore. The vaccine induces antibodies that rapidly clear the virus
from the skin before it can establish latency and persist in the body.
These results distinguish this vaccine from all other candidate
vaccines in the field. The study’s lead author was Christopher D. Petro,
a graduate student from their labs. Dr. Herold is professor
of pediatrics, of microbiology & immunology, and of obstetrics &
gynecology and women’s health.

5. Searching for Consensus on
“Healthy” Foods
Get 10 registered dietitian/nutritionists (RDNs) in a room and the
chance of us “talking shop” is virtually 100 percent. While there’d be
a robust debate about some subjects, we’d all agree that the
question we get more than any other from the public is, “Is this
healthy?” and various iterations of the same.
Many consumers have definite ideas about what’s healthy and
what’s not. So do nutritionists. According to a survey recently
conducted by the New York Times that contrasted responses of the
public and members of the American Society of Nutritionists, a
professional organization, the two groups frequently disagree about
whether a food is “healthy.”
