Dr. Ruth Gottesman



All medical students at the Montefiore Albert Einstein institution of Medicine will be able to receive free tuition thanks to a $1 billion donation, the institution said on Monday.


This donation is the biggest ever given to an American medical school. Dr. Ruth Gottesman, the head of the Einstein Board of Trustees, delivered the statement.


"This donation radically revolutionizes our ability to continue attracting students who are committed to our mission, not just those who can afford it," Dr. Yaron Tomer, the Stanley and Marilyn Katz Dean at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, stated in a press release. "Additionally, it will free up and lift our students, enabling them to pursue projects and ideas that might otherwise be prohibitive."


The historic news also permits existing fourth-year students to obtain a reimbursement for their tuition for the spring 2024 semester. Furthermore, as of this August, all students will be admitted to the college at no cost.


Dr. Gottesman's historic and transformative contribution has left me very grateful, Philip O. Ozuah, President and CEO of Montefiore Einstein, remarked. "When we realize that access is the route to greatness, I think we can turn the tide on the history of healthcare. With this donation, Dr. Gottesman will ensure our core goal of improving human health and fund excellence forever."

As of the 2023-24 school year, Einstein is home to 737 M.D. students, 209 Ph.D. students, 124 students in the combined M.D./Ph.D. program, and approximately 239 postdoctoral research fellows.


Officials say the gift is intended to attract a talented and diverse pool of students who may not otherwise have the means to pursue a medical education.

HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY AT HOME

HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY AT HOME. Numerous students can testify that studying at home during vacation or break is as difficult as a Greek puzzle.   However, one can successfully put the pieces together with a resolved mind. It is said that a way can be found where there is determination. I wish to share with you a few strategies to help you study at home. Firstly, let your "why" for studying be strong. Your greatest source of inspiration as a student is your desired future. Being passionate about your goals and purpose invokes a sense of responsibility in you and hence inspires you to get to work. No one intentionally wants to be a failure; we all fear failure even when we brag about it as an instrumental weapon for growth. I challenge you to pause now and spend just five minutes thinking about what would happen if you fail to achieve your dreams or pass that exam. How did you feel? I hope you're cautioned by what you saw. Secondly, draw a personal timetable and sti

   Michelle Obama Calls Out Donald Trump on TikTok: "He's Wrong for the USA In a surprise move, former First Lady Michelle Obama took to TikTok today to share her thoughts on Donald Trump's presidency. And she didn't mince words. In a brief video posted on her official TikTok account, Obama stated unequivocally that Trump is "wrong for the USA." But she made it clear that she wasn't speaking out as a politician, but as a woman of color. "I'm not speaking out against Donald Trump because I'm a politician," Obama said. "I'm speaking out because I'm a woman of color, and I know what it's like to be marginalized and oppressed. I know what it's like to have my voice silenced and my rights ignored." Obama's comments come as no surprise to many, given her long history of advocating for women's rights, civil rights, and social justice. Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies, she argued, are antithetical to t
