Faculty of Medicine Technion

What Faculty of Medicine Technion does

The Ruth & Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine is an academic medical school located in Haifa, Israel, founded in 1969 as a constituent unit of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. It delivers a four-year MD program, the TeAMS American-format MD track for international students, MSc and PhD research degrees in Medical Sciences (including bioinformatics, genomics, personalized medicine, and translational research), a Master's in Genetic Counseling, a joint Master's in Medical Education with Technion's Faculty of Education, a Genetic Counseling program, and a School of Continuing Medical Education serving physicians, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, and healthcare administrators. Clinical training occurs across an 8-hospital Northern Israel network (Rambam, Bnai Zion, Carmel, HaEmek, Hillel Yafe, Laniado, Lin, plus the Department of Family Medicine in Haifa), supplemented by 4 affiliated rehabilitation centers and 3 mental health centers.

The faculty operates 8 pre-clinical research departments — Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Cancer Science, Genetics and Developmental Biology, Immunology, Molecular Microbiology, Neuroscience, Physiology/Biophysics and Systems Biology, and Computational Medicine — and is anchored by the Rappaport Family Research Institute, the Biomedical Core Facility, the Rappaport Technion Integrated Cancer Center (RTICC), and the Prince Center for Neurodegenerative Disorders. Its most notable research legacy is the discovery of the ubiquitin-proteasome system by Prof. Abraham Hershko and Prof. Aaron Ciechanover, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2004 and credited with at least one related drug in advanced commercial development. A new 14-story Kahn-Rappaport building is under construction adjacent to Rambam to expand research and educational capacity.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: tuition and academic fees from MD, MSc, PhD, genetic counseling, and CME cohorts; Israeli government and research council grants funding the 8-department research program; and continuing medical education fees from practicing healthcare professionals. The faculty pursues a sales-led GTM through Technion's centralized admissions system, with supplementary community-led engagement via the alumni organization (med-alumni.net.technion.ac.il) and active organic social channels on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The institution is privately structured as an academic unit within the public Technion university, governed by Technion's senate with its own dean and faculty council, and has relied on long-standing Rappaport family philanthropy for naming and infrastructure investment since 1979.
