The donation is among the largest to date for an educational institution in the US. Half of Einstein’s most recent class of students are New Yorkers, according to the medical school – 59% are women and the majority are people of color. Einstein’s students graduate with higher amounts of debt than other medical students at New York City schools. Gottesman said she hoped that it made medical school more accessible to those who could not previously afford it
