About the Program

Students at Sackler study a patient-centered approach to medical care.

The Sackler School of Medicine New York State/American Program of Tel Aviv University is a partnership between the United States and Israel that has existed since 1976. Our program has trained approximately two thousand talented men and women who have become some of the finest physicians in the world. The program is housed at TAU's Sackler School of Medicine, which includes 20 research institutes, a large rehabilitation center, state-of-the-art bio- and nanotechnology, and cutting-edge research on a beautiful 170-acre campus. Sackler's faculty and research labs include 1,600 individuals, many of whom have been internationally recognized for their work in the field of medicine.

 

The program, which is a four-year course of study, is chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York State and accredited by the State of Israel. It welcomes qualified citizens or permanent residents of the United States and Canada. Our students receive an exceptional academic foundation in the science of human disease, clinical skills to translate this knowledge into accurate diagnoses and treatments, and a firm grounding in ethical and empathetic doctor-patient relationships.

 

Some highlights of our porgram: 

  • Students are taught in English, and class size is limited to 63 students per class.
