The Council for Higher Education has approved the establishment of two new medical schools. This is an unprecedented step, undertaken in order to provide a solution to the severe shortage of doctors and to reduce the number of Israelis forced to study medicine abroad. The Haifa University School of Medicine will open in the 2026 academic year, and at the same time, the Weizmann Institute of Science will launch an innovative program for training physician-researchers that combines medical studies with advanced research.
