Throughout the day, you’ll also have access to informative sessions and live Q&As designed to answer your questions and help you take the next steps with confidence.

Required Documents: Verification at MedEx

An Israeli Notary will be present at MedEx to verify documents on-site. If you are planning to verify your documents at MedEx, please make sure to bring your passport for identification. These services will be provided for a fee of 300 GBP, check, or cash. You will receive a receipt. You may be eligible for reimbursement upon Aliyah, provided you make Aliyah within 2 years of payment.

Preparation for Specialty Recognition - Specialists Only

We encourage you to begin the specialty recognition process prior to MedEx, which you can do by uploading your documents to the IMA portal. Please refer to this guide for a step-by-step process of how to fill out the relevant forms, and make sure to attend our pre-MedEx prep webinar in order to receive more specified guidance. The IMA will not be collecting documents on site! If you’ve started an IMA portal ahead of MedEx and need help, our staff will be available to help you with your application – reach out to us for more details.

The official YAEL Hebrew Proficiency Test

will be offered at MedEx UK!

Proving Hebrew knowledge at an intermediate level is currently required for certain medical professionals. One way to fulfill the Hebrew proficiency requirement of the Ministry of Health is by passing the YAEL test.

For the first time, Nefesh B’Nefesh and the National Institute for Testing & Evaluation (NITE) will be offering the YAEL test at MedEx UK, taking place on 25 October, 2026. The YAEL test is 1.5 hours long and is being offered throughout the day, at the newly discounted overseas price of 60$. Not to worry – sitting for this exam will not get in the way of attending sessions, networking with employers, and meeting with the Ministry of Health.

Who needs to take the YAEL exam?

Starting in June of 2027, the Ministry of Health will require Physicians to prove that their Hebrew knowledge is at an intermediate level. UK doctors attending MedEx will have the option to take the YAEL exam on-site to fulfill this requirement in advance.

FAQ's

The process will take some time, possibly even a few months. If you are looking to start working as soon as possible, you should begin the process now before you make Aliyah. In addition, once in Israel, you will have to travel from office to office and NOT have the opportunity to have it all done under one roof. MedEx is the only place in the world where you have the opportunity to do this all in one place!

The MedEx licensing appointments are available for medical professionals planning to make Aliyah in 2026-2028 but all medical professionals considering Aliyah at any point are welcome to attend. If you have questions, email imap@nbn.org.il 

Only you can make that decision.  MedEx licensing conference will save you time, money, and a lot of headaches!

If your spouse/friend/child is unable to attend, you may present documentation on their behalf at the MedEx, though it is, of course, recommended that they attend. Please bring a signed affidavit that you have permission to present their documentation on their behalf. Obviously, the job fair will not be relevant if you are representing someone else.
