Residency in Israel
Hello Amoo,
Each hospital in Israel have different requirements from his candidates for a residency program. You can choose between a few teaching hospitals which offer international programs: Soroka in Beer Sheva, Tel Hashomer-Shiba in Tel Aviv, Ziv in Sefad, Rambam and Carmel in Haifa, Hadassah Ein Karem and Hadassah Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, Barzilai in Askelon and more. You'll have to contact each hospital directly to find out if there is an opening for a residency and if you are meeting the requirement. You should know that it's usually harder to get in to a program in the hospitals in the center of Israel and in Jerusalem - the hospitals outside of those place are usually in search of great doctors and are more open. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
