Goals
Founded in 1976, the American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University is committed to providing its medical students with an exceptional academic foundation in the science of human disease and the clinical skills to translate this knowledge into accurate diagnoses and treatments.
With the explosive growth of knowledge—currently doubling every 30 months—and advances in biotechnology, we strive to instill in our students the habits of critical thinking, evidence-based medicine, and continuing medical education.
Equally important, the program at Sackler strives to cultivate and nurture in its students and graduates the qualities that foster an empathetic and ethical doctor-patient relationship.
Our goal is to train young physicians who will be prepared to practice scientific and humane medicine and to meet the challenges of practicing medicine in the 21st century.
