| Abstract: | In the Fall of 2018, a medical school in Israel launched a new program combining a yeshiva and medical school curriculum. For the pre-clinical years, the students spend the mornings learning medicine and the afternoons learning Torah, with a focus on topics related to medicine. At the end of five years, the students will receive a medical degree as well as a certificate in Jewish law. How novel an idea is this? Has such a combined curriculum ever been offered before in history? What has been the nature of the Jewish education, if any, for a student attending medical school? |
