Abstract
Beginning in 1977, the leaders at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) and Montefiore Medical Center (MMC) began to develop unifieddepartments combining the strengths at both campuses under a single department chair. The unification of the Department of Medicine was carried out under the leadership of Dr. Louis M. Sherwood in 1980. This step built upon the strength of the two Departments that had developed separately at MMC and AECOM during the previous era. During the 1980s and the 1990s, the subspecialty divisions, along with their training and research programs, were merged. Other changes evolved though that period, so that by the turn of the century many aspects of the Department of Medicine differed from its structure and function in 1980.
