Mission

From unraveling the genetic mysteries of life to waging battle against the scourges of old age, researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Faculty of Medicine are in the forefront of medical science, seeking the causes and cures of human affliction. Since its inception in 1946 by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization, the Faculty of Medicine has ensured the training of highly skilled professionals well-versed in the latest developments in clinical medicine and biomedical research.
Today's Faculty encompasses five schools which offer comprehensive curricula to serve tomorrow's medical needs. Besides the Medical School, the Schools of Pharmacy, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and Public Health and Community Medicine provide the education and skills which have enabled the Faculty's graduates to play a major role in establishing and maintaining the highest standards of research and treatment in Israel. The Faculty has earned an international reputation as a leading research institution through its pioneering efforts and scope of scientific inquiry. It has created an environment where preclinical and clinical medicines interact to facilitate innovative approaches in research, education and health care.
