The Medical School for
International Health
celebrating a decade of innovation in medical education
and training tomorrow's leaders in global health.
Welcome
Welcome to the Medical School for International Health website. Now in our thirteenth year, the Medical School for International Health is the only four-year, American-style medical school that incorporates global health coursework into all four years of the medical school curriculum.
The curriculum concentrates on these areas of medicine as they impact on problems of international health and is designed to address emerging issues in healthcare worldwide. Graduates of the MSIH will have the skills to treat individuals and promote health and prevent diseases in populations.
How We Began
In 1996, in affiliation with Columbia University Medical Center, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Faculty of Health Sciences instituted afour-year M.D. degree program to graduate doctors with special skills in primary care and community, preventive, and population-based medicine.
The program was expanded in 2005 to become the Medical School for International Health (MSIH), and the MSIH is fully accredited as the second medical school of BGU to operate under the auspices of the Israeli Council for Higher Education. The MD degree is issued by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. |
We are currently accepting applications for admission for Fall 2010, Class of 2014.
Admissions are done
on a rolling basis.
