EnglishWhat Is Technion Medicine (md.technion.ac.il)?
Updated
md.technion.ac.il is the official website of the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. It is an institutional site that presents the faculty's medical education programs, research departments and centers, and affiliated health care facilities. It is aimed at prospective and current students, researchers, faculty, and anyone looking for information about the faculty's academic and clinical network. The site describes the faculty's approach as combining medicine, engineering, and research.
What the site covers
The homepage organizes content into three main areas, each with a short statement of purpose:
- Education — "Fostering the future of medicine by empowering physicians and scientists." This section links to the MD program, the Technion American Medical School (TeAMS), MSc/PhD graduate programs, international medical student exchange, and continuing medical education.
- Research — "Advancing human health through innovation and discovery in the medical sciences." This covers research departments, clinical research centers, and shared resources.
- Health Care — links to affiliated general hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and mental health centers.
There are also sections for events, jobs, and faculty positions, plus student and faculty resource pages.

When this site is useful
Use md.technion.ac.il if you want to confirm the faculty's academic programs, identify a research department or center, find contact information for staff, or see which hospitals and care centers are affiliated with the faculty. If you need admission requirements, tuition, or application deadlines, check the specific program pages linked from the Education section rather than the homepage, since the homepage only summarizes the three pillars and does not list detailed admissions or pricing information.
