The American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University offers a four-year MD education. The curriculum and course of study are patterned after U.S. medical schools. All courses are taught in English. However, some competency in Hebrew is required for clinical studies. The school provides Hebrew language courses during the first and second years to prepare students for their clinical study experience.
Admissions Committee
The Admissions Committee reviews the applications of all candidates who have been interviewed. The Committee recommends admission on the basis of an applicant’s estimated potential for the study and practice of medicine—both, as an art and as a science—and overall suitability for the New York State/American Program. The goal of the Admissions Committee is to admit candidates whose attitudes are those of mature and responsible individuals who have thoughtfully considered the many aspects of pursuing a medical education, particularly in a foreign country.
The Admissions Committee accepts students in late February and continues the selection process throughout the spring and summer until the final candidates have been selected. Applicants who are offered admission are asked to respond within two weeks and to forward a non-refundable deposit of $100 to our New York office. This deposit will be credited toward the first semester’s tuition.
NOTE: Students accepted into the American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University will not be permitted to transfer into the Israeli Program.
Residencies upon graduation are to be done in the United States or Canada.
