The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) is a graduate school of Yeshiva University. It is a private medical school located in the Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus of Yeshiva University in the Morris Park neighborhood of the borough of the Bronx of New York City. AECOM also offers graduate biomedical degrees through the Sue Golding Graduate Division.

Albert Einstein agreed to attach his name to the medical school on his 74th birthday, March 14, 1953. His agreement was only given after the school agreed to write into its bylaws that admission would not be based upon race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran or disabled veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, or citizenship status.

The first classes began September 12, 1955 and had a total of 56 students. At the time, it was the first medical school to be erected within New York City since 1897. Currently, the medical school matriculates approximately 180 students per year.

In addition to the medical school, AECOM conducts research in basic biomedical science; beginning in the 1960s and 1970, the Sue Golding Graduate Division (established 1957) was a biomedical research institute in the United States. There are more than 200 faculty performing biomedical research with an enrollment of nearly 400 graduate students. The school receives more than $170 million annually in peer-reviewed grants from the National Institutes of Health.

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is affiliated with six hospitals: Montefiore Medical Center, Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx Psychiatric Center, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in the Bronx, Beth Israel Medical Center in downtown Manhattan and Long Island Jewish Medical Center on Long Island. Through its affiliation network, AECOM runs the largest post-graduate medical training program in the US, offering some 150 residency programs to more than 2,500 physicians in training. The AECOM Department of Family and Social Medicine (DFSM) offers the Residency Program in Social Medicine (RPSM, est. 1970), created to address the shortage of primary care clinicians trained to work in underserved communities. 

The Center for Ethics at Yeshiva University and the Institute for Public Health Sciences are affiliated with the medical school.

The David Samuel Gottesman Library serves the needs of the AECOM community. (The library is open Sunday through Friday; it is closed in observance of the Sabbath on Saturdays.) In June 2006, the library embarked on a year-long renovation project of its main floor.
