Medical School for International Health
As
March begins and spring approaches, some students may still be
undecided about applying to medical school, they may have not been
accepted at their top choice, or they may potentially be considering a
gap year. At the Medical School for International Health we do
accept students through May, so even if students are taking the MCAT
in April, they can still apply. The application is available on our website at msih.net, or Click here to download. Should you or a student have any questions, please email msihadmissions@
Why choose the MSIH? The MSIH's focus on global health is unique.
As
Dr. Bram Wispelwey, MSIH class of 2014 explains, "Everyone learns the
same fundamentals in medical school, more or less. From there it’s the
intangibles of experience that shape you as a person and as a
physician." Dr. Wispelwey, who is a current resident in Internal
Medicine and Global Health Equity at Brigham and Women's Hospital and an
MPH candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, adds
that the "MSIH is a special place to be right now. Many of these hot
issues in the U.S. are present in similar but importantly distinct forms
in Be’er Sheva, and training there can give you ‘new eyes’ on your
return to the U.S. or Canada."
The Medical School for International Health (MSIH) is the only four-year North American-style medical school that incorporates global health coursework into all four years of the medical school curriculum. T
he
MSIH is an English-language track at Ben-Gurion University and has been
affiliated with Columbia University's College of Physicians and
Surgeons since inception. MSIH students spend three years in
Beer-Sheva, Israel, then go on to conduct fourth-year clinical electives
at Columbia University Medical Center, and at other institutions in the
United States and Canada.
