Introduction

The Department of Pre-Med Education of Dr Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson School of Medicine invites you to join the Medical Sciences (B.Sc.) Academic Program in English. The Medical Sciences Program is unique in Israel and it is designed to accommodate both international and Israeli students (including repatriates/Olim). The program is based on the university’s Hebrew language Pre-Med undergraduate studies, which is approved by the Israel Council for Higher Education (MALAG/CHE) and has been an integral part of the curriculum at Ariel University for several years now.

The establishment of a four-year medical program at several universities in Israel paved the way for many graduates from a wide range of professions to realize their dream of becoming a doctor. However, the path to the realization of a dream is long and convoluted. Pre-medical undergraduate education at Ariel University is optimized for successful passing of the “knowledge exam” (Mivhan Yeda) required for admission to the medical faculty. Retrospectively, just in 2021, 10 out of 70 students admitted to the Adelson Medical School at Ariel University were graduates of the Medical Sciences B.Sc. program in the Hebrew language. This is a great success considering the huge competition of 818 candidates, the graduates of multiple prestigious faculties of all Israeli universities for 70 available places! In addition, many graduates from the Medical Sciences B.Sc. program at Ariel University have been accepted to four-year MD programs at Bar Ilan and Tel Aviv Universities.

The establishment of the Medical Sciences Program allows further expansion of the boundaries of pre-medical education. The disciplines included in the Medical Sciences Program curriculum provide an extensive and profound knowledge of the basic sciences, core biological, and pre-clinical sciences. The program exposes the students to the psychological, ethical, legal, economic, technological, and social aspects of medicine to establish a more holistic approach to medical practice in modern society and provide future physicians with the ability to adapt to new and emerging medical care challenges. The rigorous study program successfully prepares graduates for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), necessary for admission to medical schools adopting US-based standards in the USA or beyond its borders. The program is also fully compliant with the admission standards of the next stage of medical education – a four-year medical degree (MD) offered at several Israeli universities. Thus, the Medical Sciences Program endows the students with a solid scientific foundation for the future study of clinical medicine.
