Doctors in Israel are specialists of high level. They went through years of training, practical study in medical institutions of Israel and other countries. It helps them to have extensive practical experience. Often their work is not limited to clinical practice, they also are engaged in extensive research activities, transfer their experience to a new generation of doctors who participate in international medical life. Most doctors are not only Israeli national stars, but they are also well-known far outside the country.
It is not easy to become a doctor in Israel, the rivalry in this area is very high, because the popularity and prestige of the profession is traditionally high, and to enter one of Israeli medical universities they need to overcome 700-800 people. Besides, there are very high requirements for the training of doctors. In addition to the 6 years of study in medical school, the future doctor must be on probation on the chosen specialization for a few years, and then take an examination to obtain a license. For this purpose, one should spend 15 years to become a doctor. But the good doctors are learning during life, constantly improving their skills, increasing their level.
But years of training can go up the spout after one serious medical error, and as a result the doctor could lose hard-earned license. The doctor in Israel is criminally responsible for negligence, which leads to death or deterioration of the patient's health. In addition, the doctor has to pay millions in compensation to the victims. Therefore, responsibility, care, professionalism of the Israeli doctors is one of the strengths of the medicine in Israel, the cornerstone of its reputation as one of the most advanced in the world.
