The Faculty of Medicine at the Tel Aviv University (TAU) is Israel's largest institute of medical education and offers a wide variety of degree programs.

 

TAU's Electives Program for clinical rotations established in 1986. It offers the opportunity to explore options while developing new skills.

 

It is solely responsible for the registration and approval of rotation placements for overseas MD students at any accredited departments affiliated with Tel Aviv University in Israel, all of which have an equally high level of professional education and instruction. We do not offer rotations in our clinical affiliated departments for pre-clinical students.

 

Vacancies are limited.

 

Activity during Electives:

Participants take part in routine departmental clinical activities, in bedside supervised rounds, and attend seminars and conferences.

 

Due to hospital restrictions, practical hands-on training is limited.

 

We do not have detailed syllabus descriptions for electives.

 

Theoretical lectures, clinical research and exams are not a part of this program.

 

Clinical work is carried out in Hebrew. Patient files and reports are in Hebrew. Lab reports are generally in English. Hospital and clinic staff assist students with non-Hebrew speaking patients whenever possible.

 

Participants official status is that of non-matriculated Tel Aviv University students, with the accompanying rights, duties, and responsibilities equivalent to the medical students of the Faculty of Medicine on their elective rotations.

 

TAU's Elective Program cannot sign agreements with applicant’s home school. Any Forms from applicant’s school are subject to the Electives Program discretion.
