The graduating classes of 2026 will be the last for the Americans and Canadians who came here for the four-year MD degree in the three aforementioned Israeli faculties. ..."

Israel decides: No more American, Canadian medical students for study - The Jerusalem Post Israel is working to raise the number of Israeli graduates of medical school, rather than forcing them to go abroad.
