Sackler School of Medicine NY / American Program of Tel Aviv University School of Medicine

What Sackler School of Medicine NY / American Program of Tel Aviv University School of Medicine does

The American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine — commonly referenced as the Sackler School of Medicine NY American Program — is a four-year, English-language MD degree program founded in 1976 and chartered by the New York State Board of Regents. It is designed specifically for U.S. and Canadian citizens who complete preclinical training in Tel Aviv and clinical rotations across Israel's hospital network, graduating eligible for licensure in the United States, Canada, and Israel. The program admits approximately 65 students per class for a total enrollment of roughly 260 across all four years, taught by approximately 1,600 faculty, scientists, and physicians drawn from 16 affiliated teaching hospitals and 20 research institutes. Curriculum delivery is benchmarked against NBME standards and prepares students for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 followed by placement into U.S. and Canadian residency programs.

The business model is a tuition-driven, not-for-profit educational enterprise. Annual tuition is set at approximately $42,000, with approximately 51 administrative employees supporting operations alongside the much larger clinical and research faculty. The program maintains a New York office to support recruitment and alumni engagement among U.S./Canadian applicants, and a Gold Humanism Honor Society chapter reinforces its positioning within U.S. medical education culture. Alumni exceed 2,000 and are concentrated in U.S. and Canadian teaching hospitals, functioning as the principal intangible asset underwriting applicant demand and pricing power.

Growth is structurally constrained by the ~65-student class cap, so program economics depend on tuition pricing, alumni outcomes, and continued cross-border regulatory recognition rather than volume scale. The program's competitive position rests on a combination of New York State charter, Israeli medical accreditation, and a multi-decade alumni placement record at U.S. residency programs — assets that are difficult to replicate and underwrite predictable demand from a narrow but well-defined applicant pool of U.S./Canadian pre-medical students.
