If you are a doctor, nurse, or any healthcare professional planning Aliyah, we are the address for getting your foreign license recognized in Israel.

The Physicians and Medical Professions Directorate is a specialized unit within Israel's Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, created specifically to support medical professionals making Aliyah. The unit guides doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals through the process of getting their foreign degrees and licenses recognized in Israel. As a unit of the Ministry of Aliyah - not the Ministry of Health - this unit's focus is on the Oleh's journey: providing dedicated, immigrant-friendly support, navigating bureaucracy on behalf of new Olim, and helping them re-enter their profession in Israel as smoothly as possible. Olim are strongly advised to contact this unit early, ideally before arrival, to understand the requirements for their specific profession and country of origin.
