THE INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL ALIYAH PROGRAM https://www.nbn.org.il/international-medical-aliyah-program/

In an effort to resolve Israel’s physician shortage, The International Medical Aliyah Program (IMAP) seeks to streamline the Aliyah process for physicians worldwide. Israel’s Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, through its new dedicated Physicians Olim Directorate, The Ministry of Health, and The Jewish Agency for Israel have chosen Nefesh B’Nefesh to partner in creating this international program to streamline the immigration process for medical professionals, ensuring their ability to integrate into Israel’s medical workforce upon arrival. Recognizing the country’s critical need for physicians, this initiative focuses on recruitment and provides tailored assistance to those looking to make Aliyah, become part of the Israeli health system, and join native Israeli communities.

IMAP’s efforts will minimize obstacles and provide valuable resources towards a seamless transition for individuals and families building lives and careers in Israel. Additionally, the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration has played a significant role in establishing a post-Aliyah package for physicians and now offers financial incentives for those choosing to practice in the periphery.
