School Info
The MSIH is a four year, North American-style medical school that incorporates global health coursework into all four years of the medical school curriculum. The 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.
Curriculum
The first three years of instruction take place in Israel, beginning with the full-year Introduction to Global Health. Fourth-year clinical electives take place at Columbia University Medical Center, as well as other affiliated hospital locations in North America including Mt. Sinai, the University of Pennsylvania, Hofstra-LIJ and the University of Kentucky. There is a New York based electives coordinator who supports students who seek electives at other institutions as well. Fourth-year students take 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 2016 residency match rate was 95%.
Facilities
Students spend the first three years in Israel at Ben-Gurion University. Third-year clinical clerkships in the wards of BGU's Soroka University Medical Center expose students to diverse patients from Beer-Sheva's Bedouin and Ethiopian communities, as well as to Israeli immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Fourth-year clinical electives take place in North America, followed by an eight-week Global Health clerkship. This two-month clinical rotation takes places in a developing country or in other clinical settings related to global health.
