The Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine

Why Choose the IMPH?

The program promotes excellence in international public health practice, research, and teaching in a broad range of topics.
In recognition of our ongoing public health training efforts in Israel and abroad, the World Health Organization designated the School (2007-2014) as a Collaborating Centre for Capacity Building in Public Health.
The IMPH Program provides tools for examining public health challenges and formulating relevant intervention strategies at the community and national level.
The emphasis throughout is on active learning by the student, individually and in groups.
Together with the academic requirements, the program is tailored to the student's needs and interests.
Our teachers are deeply involved, caring and maintain open communication with their students.
Small group tutorial classes are provided for students requiring additional assistance in some core courses.
The IMPH Program offers a wide range of social and cultural activities that serve to bond and integrate our students and introduce them to the historical yet modern host country of Israel.
