The shortage of doctors in Israel is reaching critical levels, prompting institutions to take action. With many physicians retiring or leaving the country, there is an urgent need to increase the number of medical professionals. To address this issue, three new medical schools are set to be established in the country.
The University of Haifa is leading the way with the Herta and Paul Amir School of Medicine, thanks to a significant donation of NIS 200 million. The school is designed to meet the needs of the north of Israel and will focus on research and advanced technologies in medicine. The school will be established in partnership with the Carmel Medical Center and will offer a six-year study format.
In Herzliya, the Dina Recanati School of Medicine is set to become the country’s first private medical school. The school will collaborate with leading medical centers to provide innovative and multidisciplinary education to future physicians. The goal is to create a curriculum that is adapted to technological developments and ensures that students are prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.
These new medical schools aim to address the physician shortage in Israel and provide high-quality education to aspiring doctors. By investing in medical education, these institutions are paving the way for a healthier future for the country.
