From the start of the first semester, my classmates have been nothing but supportive and collaborative towards one another.

In our close-knit community, students spend much of their time in the classroom, hospital and library, as well as working with faculty. But there’s more to medical school than academics, and MSIH offers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to earn your degree while immersing yourself in the rich culture of Israel.

If you choose to study with us, you’ll make a home in the vibrant city of Beer-Sheva, explore the beautiful Negev desert, engage in campus and community activities, and build lasting friendships.

Meet Rose Bayer, an alumna of MSIH and current resident in Pediatrics at St Christopher’s Hospital in Philadelphia, as she reflects upon her decision to attend MSIH and finding a community in Beer-Sheva.

Life in Beer-Sheva

BGU is located in Beer-Sheva, Israel’s fourth-largest metropolis and one of the oldest in the world. A diverse university town of 200,000 in the heart of the vast and beautiful Negev desert, Beer-Sheva is a place where the past and future converge: named “the Silicon Valley of the Middle East” by Forbes, it’s a cutting-edge, commercially vibrant city that’s also home to historical sites and ruins.
