New York State / American Program
The Sackler School of Medicine New York State/American Program, located at Tel Aviv University, is chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York and is accredited by the State of Israel. The New York State Education Department reported that the program “meets or exceeds accepted standards of academic quality.”
Established in 1976, the New York State/American Program is taught in English, and has approximately 300 students enrolled. The program is specifically for qualified students who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada.
The goal of the program is to provide graduates with a comprehensive academic foundation in the science of human disease and with the clinical skills to translate this knowledge into accurate diagnoses and treatment. Equally important, Sackler strives to cultivate and nurture in its graduates the qualities that foster an empathetic, ethical doctor-patient relationship. Graduating physicians are encouraged to foster their own career-long commitment to professional self-assessment and continuing education in order to keep abreast of the rapid changes in medicine.
Its curriculum and teaching methods are modeled after those of U.S. medical schools. Classes are small. Classroom, laboratory and clinical sessions are supplemented by self-study and by tutoring and seminars in small groups. Clinical clerkships begin in the third year. At the beginning of the fourth year, students take 16 weeks of electives at U.S. medical institutions.
Israeli teaching institutions affiliated with Sackler include seven major medical centers, seven psychiatric hospitals, 20 research institutes and a large rehabilitation center.
Graduates of Sackler’s New York State/American Program consistently secure residency positions through “the Match” that are equal to those graduating from medical schools in America.

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“President Lowell of Harvard appealed to students ‘to prepare themselves for such services as the Governor may call upon them to render.’ Dean Greenough organized an ‘emergency committee,’ and Coach Fisher was reported by the press as having declared, ‘To hell with football if men are needed.’”
