Mission Building upon our Bronx roots, our mission is to improve the health of the people and communities we serve through compassionate, patient-centered care, scientific discovery, humanistic education, community engagement, and absolute commitment to social justice. About Us Diversity, equity, and inclusion are among the key pillars that comprise the foundation of the department of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center. We are committed to revamping systems within academic medicine that improve health equity with the goal of increasing the representation and retention of diverse groups of healthcare providers that match the diverse patient population, and addressing the policies, perceptions, and barriers that hold people back from careers in medicine. We believe that increasing the diversity of department of medicine residents, fellows, and faculty who are under-represented in medicine is not only a moral imperative, but key to improving clinical, research, and medical education.
