Education and Training Programs

Communications Training

Open to all faculty and research staff, we offer training in effective communication led by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University. This program encourages learners to develop strategies to engage audiences in ways that build trust and inspire through effective communication. This is accomplished through active listening and close attention to non-verbal communication.

Education and Training

The Montefiore Learning Network offers a variety of courses on categories such as clinical education, leadership and professional development, compliance, and technology. Courses are offered on-demand, ‘live’ virtual instructor-led, or in-person.

Creating Connections: An Introduction to the Alda Method 

Learners will:

  1. identify strategies to make a message memorable
  2. recognize and begin to avoid using complex terminology and jargon
  3. Use a three-step process (Alda Method) to design a message strategically, 4) Develop a personable and engaging online presence.

Alda Center’s The Link provides articles and upcoming events aimed to connect science communication research with practice.

Keep an eye out for upcoming workshops and events by signing up for our ICTR newsletter here.

Pathway Programs

We are offering a new program to promote diversity and inclusion, and encourage students to explore a career path in clinical and translational science.

The Einstein Discover Research Program is open to students enrolled in CUNY Lehman’s Master of Arts in Biological Science program. This unique program is a collaboration between the ICTR, Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center and CUNY Lehman, and offers students an opportunity to earn a Master of Science degree by completing 1 year of coursework at Lehman followed by 1 year of laboratory work at Einstein. Laboratory work provide the research foundation for each student’s Master’s thesis.

Pathway Programs

The program includes laboratory experience, participation in workshops, seminars, mentorship, and access to a self-study toolkit to support their learning at all stages of the program.
