The Medical School for International Health is a four year, North American-style medical school that incorporates global health coursework into all four years of the medical school curriculum. The mission of the Medical School for International Health (MSIH) is to address the need for medical education that focuses on the interface between global health and community and preventive medicine. The first three years of instruction take place in Israel, beginning with the full-year Introduction to Global Health.

Fourth-year students take an eight-week clerkship with an underserved community at approved sites throughout the world.
