American Medical (M.D. Degree) Programs in Israel - Ben-Gurion University of the Negev


 

The Joyce and Irving Goldman Medical School, in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Sciences, has instituted an American-style four-year medical degree program: the M.D. Program in International Health and Medicine. This program is unique in its focus on cross-cultural medicine and population health. Instruction is in English. Students receive additional instruction in Hebrew during the first two years so that they may communicate effectively with patients during clinical clerkship. The M.D. degree is awarded by Ben-Gurion University. Students take the USMLE. The program seeks candidates capable of becoming outstanding primary care physicians and leaders in the fields of international medicine, community medicine, and cross-cultural and preventive medicine. Admission is open to exceptional individuals of all nationalities. Application may be made through the admissions office in New York. Suitable applicants are invited for personal interviews
