Please join members of the New York-based admissions team, as well as an alumnus, for an information session about the Medical School for International Health (MSIH). MSIH is a four-year, North American-style medical school that incorporates global health coursework into all four years of the medical school curriculum, offering small classes and a challenging program that prepares students to practice medicine in the United States and around the world. MSIH is an English-language track in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and is affiliated with Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The first three years of instruction take place in Israel, while fourth-year clinical electives take place at Columbia University Medical Center, as well as other affiliated hospital locations in North America, including Mount Sinai. There is a New York-based electives coordinator who supports students seeking electives at other institutions as well. Fourth-year students complete an eight-week clerkship with an underserved community at approved sites throughout the world. Students are prepared to take the USMLE Steps 1 and 2, and complete residencies in the United States and Canada. The 2017 residency match rate was 90 percent.

The event will take place on Tuesday, January 23, 6:30 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. in New York City. RSVP [email protected] for address location.
