For those of you who may need an
alternative to American medical schools.\
Tel Aviv University and its Sackler School of Medicine
located in Israel are internationally renowned
institutions, respected for their quality of academic programs and their
distinguished faculty. The Sackler School of
Medicine-New York State/American Program offers an outstanding four-year
program leading to M.D. degree. This Program is the only one of two in the
world recognized outside of United
States that is registered by the Regents of the University of the
State of New York/State Education Department.
The Program is designed specifically for the graduates of the United States and Canadian colleges. The rigorous
four-year M.D. educational curriculum is modeled after that of the United States medical schools. It is comprised of two
segments - each of approximately two years duration: (1) basic medical sciences
and (2) clinical clerkships. Basic medical sciences are taught in English, and
only English language textbooks are used throughout the course of study. The
core clinical clerkships are taught in Sackler School of Medicine’s 7 affiliated hospitals in Israel: Medicine (11 weeks), Surgery (8 weeks),
Obstetrics and Gynecology (6 weeks), Pediatrics (8 weeks), Psychiatry (5
weeks), Emergency Medicine (1 week), Neurology (4 weeks), and Family Medicine
(4 weeks). All courses are taught
by respected professors of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine.
The Program is accepting applications
for the class entering September 2009. Applications are accepted through June
12, 2009. The Committee on Admissions begins notifying applicants of its
decisions on or about March 16 and continues until the selection process is
completed. Interviews are customarily held at the Sackler School of Medicine
New York City office, however, regional interviews are arranged.
Sackler graduates participate in the
National Resident Matching Program and return to the United States for their residency training. The school
has a record of prestigious acceptances into the most distinguished hospitals
throughout the U.S.
As you review the status of your
students interested in pursuing the M.D. degree, we hope that you will advise
them of the option to study in Israel.
