Kol HaKavod on your decision to begin the Aliyah process! Israel is an incredible place to live and holds a tremendous number of opportunities for your professional growth.

Israel is anticipating a shortage of physicians over the next 5-7 years, and you can play an instrumental role in maintaining a high level of care for Israeli patients all over the country. The Ministry of Aliyah, the Ministry of Health, and the Jewish Agency for Israel have chosen Nefesh B’Nefesh to facilitate the process that medical professionals must go through in order to become recognized physicians in Israel who are able to contribute to the Israeli medical system. Together we will provide prospective physician Olim with a well-rounded and supportive experience in order to ensure that their Aliyah and licensure processes work as smoothly as possible.

The Jewish Agency for Israel is here to help any potential Oleh from outside of North America with the process of Aliyah. They have a hotline available in 6 languages, and dedicated employees who speak your language that are available to answer any questions you may have. Use their dropdown menu to choose your location, and you’ll be provided with the relevant email address and phone number to contact. If you have specific questions that you’d like a written answer for, fill out their Aliyah Service Center Form.

If you’re from North America, check out the Nefesh B’Nefesh page regarding that Aliyah process. You can also open an Aliyah application here, and a Nefesh B’Nefesh Aliyah advisor will get in touch with you directly.

Regardless of your country of origin, we’re committed to making your dreams of Aliyah a reality. Should you face any road bumps along the way, feel free to reach out to the IMAP team for guidance.
