- Dr. Philip Ozuah, President and CEO of Montefiore Einstein, the umbrella organization for Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System, today announced that Albert Einstein College of Medicine has received a transformational gift from Ruth L. Gottesman, Ed.D., Chair of the Einstein Board of Trustees and Montefiore Health System board member. This historic gift - the largest made to any medical school in the country - will ensure that no student at Einstein will have to pay tuition again.
“This donation radically revolutionizes our ability to continue attracting students who are committed to our mission, not just those who can afford it. Additionally, it will free up and lift our students, enabling them to pursue projects and ideas that might otherwise be prohibitive. We will be reminded of the legacy this historic gift represents each spring as we send another diverse class of physicians out across the Bronx and around the world to provide compassionate care and transform their communities,” said Dr. Yaron Tomer, the Marilyn and Stanley Katz Dean at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

The best gift to give Dr. Ruth Gottesman back is to work hard. Treasure this rare gift, do your best to be a qualified doctor and save others.
And pay it forward. Don't turn into a greedy sh*t and know that you saved a HUGE amount of money.
*No, she only expects from them "Allahu Akbar."*
100% pay it forward!
Incredible!!! I read somewhere else that this lady gave 1 billion dollars to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, so they can now offer free tuition in perpetuity for its Medical students. I'm so happy for them and for those who will be able to study medicine with her generosity.
It's so you will shut up and keep your head down why they run the world and give a billion out like it's not a big deal than use it as a tax write off.
"This lady" is Dr. Ruth Gottesman, multibillionaire and chair of the board of trustees of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
@LilibethRivera now shut up and keep your head down and do what you are told while she gets all that money back as a tax write off to make more money on it. Don't worry your economy and regular people will pay it off.
@@odeball22 She’s literally 93 years old and impossibly rich. Pretty sure she doesn’t give a shit about the tax write off when she knows she has more money than she’ll ever need and she’s gonna be dead in the next 10 years. People like you who take something so positive and amazing and shit on it are the WORST kind of people
This is wonderful news for all the present students. I wonder if graduates with outstanding loans will have their debt forgiven. I hope so!
We need more of this. Doctors and nurses are in short supply. To graduate medical professionals debt free is not only a gift to them and their families but to all their future patients. Imagine how much more healing will be done without debt hanging over them. Absolutely incredible!
@@union8200Stupid comment
@@union8200😂😂😂😂 So why didn't YOU go to medical school, then!?! 😂😂😂😂
@@union8200well I grew up blue collar and I knew plenty of people who would have gone but thought it was out of reach due to money so they didn't even count it as a viable option and pursued something else instead.
@@union8200 A lot of people I personally know gave up on their dream because they couldn't afford to go into debt . My father was one of those people.
Yes, it's just difficult. Most millionaires don't think like that. She did not make the money, her husband did, and before dying told her "do with this money what you think is right" She, a university professor herself, understood the importance, but she, precisely because of that, was not in the stock exchange making money under the shadow of Warren Buffett.
In a world with so many bad news, this is a story that changes peoples lives. Both for those who are studying medicine, but for also those that they can help in the future - both patients and coming students. It is one of the most happy news and joy I have seen in a long time. I would love to see the whole speech. Thank you and salute to Mrs. Ruth Gottesmand and Family.
Ms. Ruth Gottesmen. I am very very emotional and speechless. What a spectacular amazing gifts. Thank you for believing, making a difference and leaving a footprint and legacy for future generations.
Oh, I am pretty sure that today she is dancing again. After she donated to Obama' (and Biden?) voila, Israel is attacked again. Isn't this wonderful? I am sure she is not alone in this celebration and a number of her beneficiaries are dancing too.
Evil end to evil life?
That lady ,her deceased husband and her children are good people capable of giving generously to a good cause. God bless you.
😢I'm crying here in Brazil. Excited, embarrassed and floating to see that there are still dreams to be fulfilled and through these people with giant hearts that these dreams are real. ❤❤
Not a giant heart. It’s a tax write off. Sadly. She doesn’t care
Well, I am crying too. In NYC. There is an overfed woman without a heart, brain and conscience whose students are tortured right now by Hamas
Goosebumps! That's amazing, congratulations to all and God Bless Dr. Gottesman Chair of the Einstein Board of Trustees and Montefiore Health System board member for this incredible gift. This is transformational philanthropy!
Exactely, goosebumps. When I saw the number of views, I realised I was not the only one to be thrilled by the explosion of Joy.
Yes, and her late husband made the money and entrusted it to her, explicitly trusting her to do what she thinks is right with the money. I love that some news outlet are not trying to hide his contribution, even if he is male.
God bless Madam GOTTESMAN ! From France
I am so glad for those student, I am so glad to see someone finally using his money for what is right!
Thank you Madam !
From NYC. Actually from YU neighborhood. I can assure you that she is not capable of doing anything right - neither intellectually, nor ethically.
dr anna
I so students crying
I am crying, too.
And I am not a student
What a wonderful gift.
Amazing …. May GOD Bless Madam Dr. Ruth Gottesman and family ❤❤❤❤ We Thanks & Salute you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes, it's amazing how evil one can be.
Congratulations!!! We need all the doctors, nurses, and medical staff to feel this way. They work for our society, and shouldn’t have to spend their lives in debt. None of us should. College used to be free and should be free again.
As a students who studied at Albert Einstein medical school, i would says, thank you so much for this Victory.
What an incredible selfless gift, and i know her husband would be so proud. I hope all of the students at this university make the rest of the world proud, too!
Ms. Ruth Gottesman, you are an angel.❤️🌏🌎🌍
Amazing to think that sum of money could result in such an impactful outcome ... 1 single Billion $ = PERPETUITY ... for an entire medical college! I hope this inspires some of the other ultra-rich to understand how much of a positive impact just a small fraction of their wealth could have on the lives of generations to come.
Yeah….one can hope anyway.
It happens more often than you think. You have to be very careful what and who you're donating to. Hand-outs like this can cripple more than help psychologically and culturally, one example would be the Native American population. They can pretty much live for free in America, they can go to any school with a full ride, they recieve something like $1k every week from casino revenue, they have financial help for housing. The Native American tribes that accept these handouts are doing worse than those who who refused them. Drugs, unemployment, debt and stagnation are what they deal with now and sociologists can only speculate why they and their community don't do more to get themselves out of these situations when they're literally handed every opportunity. Even Jeff Bezos has donated a total of $3b, his ex-wife donated $17b, I'm sure it helped lots of people, but it doesn't fix the underlying problem that created the need to donate in the first place.
The world is too complicated to simply think good deeds beget only good results, no matter how much we want to think of life that way.
Governememt is so rich, insteand of dropping 900 billion dollars into military, they could literally finance universal healtcare and demand the colleges ro make education cost less
@@neerajnongmaithem392wow a fellow manipuri
Will never get tired of watching this. Such an amazingly gracious gesture. You can see how much it means to these students who just want to make their contribution to the world too. Shame the world wasnt more like this moment.
The power of the words: Tuition-free. It is so powerful.
Its such a different world out there. Here I sit in Sweden and its already "free". Such a joy and a stone off the chest for everyone that benefit from it. Its truly amazing thing for the country to be able to get a broader well educated population to pick from!
What do you mean its already "free"?
@@sitcomsTV Its subsidized through heavy taxation, far beyond USA's. Sweden is also not afraid to use its resources unlike my useless country Canada. So Sweden actually does have capital to spend on its citizens, especially an education which (can) be an investment
I cried 😮😢from joy i am not even medical student 😊
Absolutely incredible. What a wonderful story, without a doubt a great lesson that this lady gives us. Thank you, Ma'am !
Would love to watch her full speech please upload
Why? This should be enough. She said: "I am wonderful,. wonderful, wonderful. Please applaud and feel free to chant 'Allahu Akbar. I am a psychobabbler and I love this chant."
dr anna
This gift is going to propel our next generation of doctors without burying them in debt.
@Trabsol better than none. In reality if you want to make money you gotta spend money. Why should all that education be free? Not really free right? Me as the taxpayer pays for that.
@Trabsol did your parents dropped you too many times when you're a child?
Such happiness on these dear children's faces..what a beautiful, kind and generous act.
Makes my heart ❤ glad..
Such a wonderful thing...
Cried remembering my college days😢..
God bless you madam 🙌🙌🙌🙌
She's such a generous person , I'm so happy for the kids
Actually incredible. If there's any student that deserves free tuition, it's medical students.
I'm a post-graduate student and YES it cost me a lot to get that scroll! Students in my country suffered from education's debts especially those who came from a poor background. So happy to see this!
I hope each take that gift seriously and become incredible humans.
The most important is to carry the message forward. These students gifted with the scholarships now must help others when they get such opportunity in the course of life. Keep the benefit cycle.
what a beautiful gesture…giving to the people who deserve it !!👍
Meanwhile the students who graduated previous year: 💀
This is so amazing. Thanks to the person that donated the finances
All knowledge should be free, free to all who will listen and learn from it.
What a way to give back. Such a wonderful gift. I wish other really, really wealthy people would follow her lead. You can’t take it with you and you already have everything money can buy. Thanks Dr. Gottesman for sharing the wealth. You are a blessing.
The News Story Of The Year!!!
Tax write off of the year lol
Yes, finally something happens in USA that by the way happens in every university in Europe, and it's suddenly the story of the year. More like puts into perspective how messed up USA is.
@@Chris-sg4th you still lose money on a tax write off dude. Its not like she gains financially from it, it just costs her less
Ahhh I’m tearing for them. Hopefully goes the same thing for my daughter that is in premed right now….soo happy for them! Thank you Dr. Ruth!!!
Great to see such an uplifting and positive story coming out of the news today. Horray for all of the students and of course to the donor.😊
Wow! What awsome news, way to encourage people to become the best version of themselves
What a powerful gift for nurses and doctors to receive from a college!
God bless all these future doctors - who will go and do amazing things and help people. 🙏 🙏
Dude in the blue sweater and glasses graduates before August lol great they did this! Would be awesome to see a domino
Diese Spende wird in die Geschichte eingehen, so gut platziertes Geld, das der gesamten Bevölkerung zugute kommt, was für eine großartige Frau! Wir wünschen allen Schülerinnen und Schülern viel Glück und danken Ihnen für Ihre Bemühungen und Ihre Arbeit!
Dr. Ruth Gottesman is a HERO. She changed generations of lives by relieving the burden of debt for these young people. Hippocrates is smiling.
Some school out there is about to get way more applicants.
Amazing. May God bless this woman
Not really. Just tax write off lol. If she’s amazing she would do it for all kinds of different fields
@@Chris-sg4thtell Elon to do that.
Very happy to hear this good news..may God bless her and family...let her tribe increase...
You know, in India this video is a big hit in social media
I'm happy for them ❤❤❤❤
God continue to grand you healthy and glorious days. 🎉🎉
God Bless Mrs. Ruth.
You know what is crazy? In Brazil we have dozens of really good medical schools for free for ages. The US government can make free med schools for everyone there, not only med schools, but all other courses too, if they put the money they spent in military into education.
Its also crazy how little doctors In Brazil make compared to those in the US
of course, no one can pay their medical bills in US, because the medical system including the doctors are stealing people. Doctors in Brazil have really good salaries, and live well, they just don't make patients in debt for the rest of their lives@@stevedcohen
@@stevedcohen Same stupid argument used by you. What is even the point of that statement. Doctors in Europe are vastly superior to those in USA, yet they make less. It's irrelevant.
@@stevedcohen also crazy how little debt they have to payoff when there in thier 50's and 40's
@stevedcohen It's also crazy how much cheaper medicine is for patients in Scotland and all over Europe ;-)
Wow what a gift God bless
God bless her !
This video makes me smile every time.
Full version of the speech anywhere?
Yeah, I’m looking for the rest of her speech…
I have it:
"I am wonderful,. wonderful, wonderful. Please applaud and feel free to chant "Allahu Akbar." I am an illiterate psychobabbler and I love this chant."
@@anna-tn8mg literally incoherent psychotic rambling
@@tyler.walker Sorry, I and psychobabbling never met. I actually despise psychobabbling. She was a psychobabblerr (ED). Without any conscience. Obviously.
dr anna.(not his kind of doctor)
@@tyler.walker BTW, she gave some money to the notoriously antisemitic Teacher's College (now chanting Allahu Akbar).
She probably remembered that there was something Jewish in her (the name) when she needed a job. It looks like this was the only time.
Now she celebrates October 7th in front of the cameras with me, me, me. Her students are tortured by Hamas. But they are Jews. Why would she care?
The good thing about this, other than free tuition, is the higher standards that are sure to come to sift the best qualified students from the plethora of students who are surely to apply to receive this gift.
Wow! Thank you for being a blessing to these students!
Congratulations guys!!!
Number one, this is amazing. Things like this should happen more often. Number two, I hope this trickles down to the patient and their not having to pay $100,000 for a hospital stay.
😂 You're joking right? Never happen.
That's wonderful news for anyone pursuing medical field at AECM. With all the doctor that bow down to government and boards authority, we need more that without string attached and stand up for the truth.
God Bless the Donor!!!
What an amazing Lady.
This is amazing. I’m so happy for all the students who will benefit. This is a wonderful gift to the world. ❤
Wonderful! Doing good for real ❤
Wow. This would allow people to choose specialties they want to do instead of what they must to pay off debt.
I want my next generation to be a student from this school ❤
A small step for the people of US as a whole! the education system is important to not make a nation brain rot and stand on old wooden pillars! Make a solid foundation and the future will be bright :)
What a BAMF and a wonderful person
True hero!! Dr. Ruth Gottesman
So this is what it looks like when you no longer have to work the hardest you've ever worked in your life, to work the hardest of your life for all of your life, to pay off a debt that you'll never clear with all the hard work you'll do throughout your life.
Despite free tution, these doctors will still make millions.
Not in the Lower Residencies. PCP Docs earn sheit in the South. I make more as a truck Driver than they do.
Amazing lady, made history at the age of 93.
How precious
❤
now thats a REAL crowd thats cheering with no fake claps
This should be normal. It works already in many countries.
countries like what?
@Rihardololz In the era of internet, are you seriously asking this question?
God bless ma'am. From Biafra❤.
I can’t get enough of this video. This woman is a real humanitarian. This is what our children need to aspire to, not Kim Kardashion. She’s a role model for the youth of today. Do you see this Bezo? Do you see this Musk? This is what it’s all about.
WOW SO LUCKY!!! 😢❤🎉 CONGRATS!!! 👏🏻
There's that old saying, ''That's Broadway!" and this time it is "That's Philanthropy!"
와우! 너무 훌륭합니다. 루스같은 멋진 결정할 수 있는 사람으로 성장하고 싶습니다
I might work here!
I’m so happy for them! 😊
Incredible! And i wish i was that lucky too...
DR. RUTH GODBLESSS YOU
Sadly, she, a primitive without conscience, has had a privileged life.
Right now, some of her students are tortured by Hamas. Many Jews, not only in Israel, are under attack and face an existential threat, homelessness and hunger. At the same university, children of poor immigrants are trying to have the education that their families care about and couldn't have elsewhere - Jewish- often with great sacrifices. After graduation, many will face unemployment or underemployment and low salaries if employed. For her, obviously, they are not human and don't deserve any help. So she is gaining more personal fame by showering people she knows nothing about and most of whom have basically a promised good life, with money she never earned.
As someone said "a pro###tude is a pro###tude is a pro###tide. Without any exaggeration - this (after October 7th!!!!!!) - is a terrifying monstrosity.
dr anna
Is the full speech available ANYWHERE?
Incredible!
0:15 that guy in the blue with the glasses is buzzing!!!
Wow, what a positive ripple effect that this will cause for the students, and all those coming as this is the way to go cause when we die, we don't go and get buried with any of our wealth, but this students are sure going to pray for her and wish her and her family well for this gracious act as they become nurses and doctors.
What a CLASS ACT 👏🏼👏🏼🎉🥳👏🏼👏🏼
I can’t stop watching the reactions in the crowd 🥲
Not really. It’s a tax write off. She should split it among other majors
@@Chris-sg4thThere’s always one 🙄 she’s 93 years old dude. And if you maybe research before you comment something negative, you would know it’s money she inherited from her late husband and he told her, “do what you think is right with it.” She was a professor at this college for decades. How could you see something so incredibly awesome and immediately have something poo poo to say? This is freaking amazing, good on Ruth Gottesman!!!
@@Chris-sg4thand even if it was about the tax write off, how could you not recognize how this is going to affect so many student’s lives? They can take the time and energy spent on financially surviving med school and use it instead to focus on studying medicine and becoming the best doctor they can be. This is epically life changing for so many!
@@HeathieBbwhat another other students who struggle and barely get buy. Pretty biased
I thought it was the end for me not to study my dream job and become one. Please let me know how this works.. I’m really interested to study medicine.
Before the announcement, I wonder what the med students were thinking why they were asked to attend?
Higher tuition? Closing of the college?
Is this applicable for students who are going to apply for medicine there?
Yes, I’m sure the applications for the med school are going to skyrocket.
Wow!!! That was so beautiful
What is the total cost for U.S. medical students to complete medical school?
I’m in California and trying to become a pediatrician would I be eligible for that program over there?
You should find out. Worth to check.
@@williampeace8965check UCLA they have that as well.
Wow incredible ❤❤
Ruth is an absolute G.
Doctors make a lot of money after they graduate, this is one profession where you can take education loan and then pay it off relatively easily (and with surety). What purpose will it serve by making it totally free? What existing problem will it solve?
The college will become more competitive because it's free, it will top the list of best medical schools, getting inside will become more challenging, and will begin to favour upper class kids with best coaching and best scores. Eventually, mostly those who could easily pay for their tuition will study for free.
Couldn't this be more need based spread across many schools? Or even better, promote medical research in the schools that are often challenging in absence of adequate funding?
I studied in one of the best engineering schools in the US and I have seen amazing projects that could solve real crucial problems shutting down in absence of adequate funding, but of course let's make education free for doctors.
I live in Scotland where all universities are free for higher education 🎉
Interesting how much less a doctor makes in Scotland vs US.
@@stevedcohen he would need to be payed more to cover crazy expense it would cost in USA to become a doctor
@@stevedcohen Interesting how much lower the cost of living in Scotland is. But nice attempt to dodge the core issue at hand, and that is the fact that USA values money over education.
Heart of gold.
