PCI is offered for Ph.D. students enrolled in Einstein’s graduate division and for M.D./Ph.D. students in Einstein’s Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). This Einstein-Montefiore PCI track can prepare students to conduct research that will improve the health and welfare of society using clinical and translational research methodology.
