Onward Israel MDA is designed for those who are already involved in the medical field and are interested in continuing their education through a practical lens. The program will start with the MDA Advanced 88 hour course in Jerusalem, followed by 5 weeks of internship on MDA ambulances. Your internship will take place in either Haifa or Be’er Sheva and you can be placed either on MICU or regular (BLS) ambulances. There will also be educational programming through the internship period where you will get to experience some of Israel’s unique medical projects.
Since its inception, Onward Israel has employed rigorous pre and post-program evaluation, designed to empirically assess the program's impact. The results are clear: Onward Israel works.
