Yeshiva University is a private Orthodox Jewish university with four campuses in New York City. The university's undergraduate schools—Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women, Katz School of Science and Health, and Sy Syms School of Business—offer a dual curriculum inspired by Modern/Centrist Orthodox Judaism's hashkafa (philosophy) of Torah Umadda ("Torah and secular knowledge"), combining academic education with the study of the Torah. While the majority of students at the university identify as Modern Orthodox, many students, especially at the Cardozo School of Law, the Sy Syms School of Business, and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, are not Jewish.
At Yeshiva University, the focus on epidemiology is primarily housed within the Department of Epidemiology & Population Health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. This department serves as the central hub for understanding the distribution, patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions within defined populations. Through rigorous research and education, faculty and students work to generate knowledge crucial for informing public health strategies and improving health outcomes. Their efforts span a wide range of health challenges, aiming to translate scientific findings into practical applications and train the next generation of leaders dedicated to addressing population health issues. This integrated approach at Einstein represents Yeshiva University's commitment to advancing public health through epidemiology.
