The MSIH seeks candidates who are capable of becoming outstanding physicians and leaders in the fields of global health, community medicine, and population-based medicine.

An ideal candidate must be academically prepared, mature, and commited to mastering the rigorous M.D. curriculum. Students benefit from the opportunities associated with graduate study within the diverse cultural environment of Israel.

All applicants must complete a four-year undergraduate degree from an accredited institution. Students from countries where the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is offered, must take this test and submit scores obtained within the preceding four years.

Applicants with graduate degrees and residents of countries where the MCAT is not offered may submit equivalent alternatives as approved by the school.

Selection is based on the applicant's overall potential for successful completion of the program as indicated by undergraduate Grade Point Average (GPA), MCAT scores, extra-curricular experience, recommendations, and interview assessments.

Students who have completed a Masters degree in Public Health (MPH) or other fields are encouraged to apply. Applications are also accepted from students who have completed a bachelor's degree in a non-science major if they have completed the necessary pre-requisites for the study of medicine. These include:

Other optional recommendations include genetics and developmental biology. Students who lack the required premedical courses may consider applying to a post-baccalaureate pre-medical program.

Current medical students who complete transfer applications are evaluated on an individual basis. Along with a completed application, transfer applicants must submit MCAT scores, recommendations, and complete official transcripts for all medical school coursework completed to date. Please be aware that due to our school’s unique International Health and Medicine curriculum, we do not accept transfer students beyond the 2nd year.
