American Medical (M.D. Degree) Programs in Israel - Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
The joint educational program between Touro College, New York, and the B. Rappaport Faculty of Medicine in the Technion, Haifa, which is taught in English, is intended for medical students from the United States. The five-year program starts with one year of studies at Touro College. Students who successfully complete the year are awarded an M.A./M.Sc. degree. Four more years of study are held at the Faculty of Medicine in the Technion, leading to the M.D. degree. Classroom, laboratory and clinical instruction is given in English; however, students must acquire sufficient knowledge of Hebrew to facilitate communication with patients in the clinical departments. Students in the program are approved to sit for the USMLE and get their ECFMG certification and licensure upon graduation. Most graduates successfully enroll in post-graduate and residency training of their first choice. The application and admission process takes places in Touro College. The Admissions Committee includes representatives of both institutions. Admission interviews are conducted at the American Technion Society office in New York. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must have a bachelor’s degree. |
