I started looking for a job on my own as soon as I arrived in Israel and after three months without a decent break, I reached out to NBN for help. NBN told me that they would start sending out my resume which I thought would be a nice, extra outlet. I was feeling hopeless, but now I am now very happily employed thanks to NBN who connected me with my current employer! Thank you NBN

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your assistance yesterday. I walked into your office not quite knowing what to expect and was amazed by the type of assistance that you were able to provide.

I made an appointment at the NBN office to review my new resume tailored for the Israeli market.  The advice they give one is advice anyone who is job hunting knows - network, network, network.  What NBN gave me was a built-in network that I could immediately start to connect with.  However the most important thing I received was the belief that I had a great team behind me and that I am not alone!

The NBN Employment Department gave us realistic expectations and helped us prepare a game plan - who to meet, which sectors are looking, how to make and approach potential contacts. Throughout the process, it was evident how the NBN staff care and do their utmost to help new Olim transition successfully. I found a wonderful job (that matches 100% what I desired in a position) because the NBN Employment Counselor saw a position and cared enough to send my resume in to the company. I received a phone call not too long after, and a few interviews later I am happily employed!

I would like to say that the employment department for Nefesh b'Nefesh has been unflagging in its dedication to finding jobs for new olim - following through and helping at every stage, responsive to all inquiries, and always on the lookout for what is best for the oleh.

To start me off, NBN gave me all the necessary tools and resources to begin the search. And the best part about this all was that they themselves were looking out for me, and sending my resume to any fitting positions they found. With their help, I landed my first job in Israel in a very reasonable about of time. A big thank you to the NBN Employment Department!

I wanted to thank the NBN team for setting me up with my first job in Israel! I couldn't have found this position without you! I am so glad I turned to NBN for help.

The NBN Employment Department sent me the links from their job board. I sent my resume to positions that I thought were relevant and gave my specific information to the NBN Employment Department. A month later I get a reply from someone who got my resume from the NBN Employment Department. I was thrilled!

Professional Certification

In order to obtain a license from the Misrad Habriut (Ministry of Health), you must personally submit your request at the Misrad Habriut office closest to your home (according to the address written in your Israeli Identification Card). The following is a list of the documents necessary for processing this request:

  • An application form (in 3 copies).
  • 3 photocopies of Israeli identity card, including the address stub and/or photocopy of passport with valid authorization for living in Israel.
  • Diploma (or letter from the dean of the faculty indicating that you completed your studies and are entitled to a diploma).
  • Official document confirming the start and end date of studies.
  • Official document confirming completion of the specified period of practical work or internship; or official confirmation of having worked in the profession for at least one year.
  • Valid license.
  • Official documents confirming clinical work in hospitals or medical institutions and notations regarding the starting and ending dates of work at each institution.
  • Letter(s) of "Good Standing" from the appropriate professional boards. The letter confirms that there are no, and have not been any, disciplinary, negligence or professional ethics complaints against the pharmacist.
  • 3 passport photos.
  • Matriculation certificate.
  • Affidavit that the student attended classes in person, and did not take them through correspondence (distance learning).
  • Israel Police confirmation of the absence of criminal records (or alternatively: details of the existing criminal records in the applicant’s name). In the absence of confirmation, the Medical Professionals Licensing Division will contact the police to receive the confirmation.

To receive a license to practice pharmacy in Israel, graduates of institutions recognized to teach this profession overseas must successfully pass the government licensing examinations in pharmacy in Israel.

You must fill out a form requesting to take the pharmacy exam and an application form, available online.

Misrad Habriut now offers a new customer call center to answer questions about licensing for health care professionals. Call *5400 from Israel or 972-8-6241010 from abroad. The center operates Sunday through Thursday, 8am-6pm, and Fridays from 8am-1pm, Israel time.

Note:

  • Original certificates and documents not written in Hebrew or Arabic must be translated into Hebrew by a notary in Israel who has a command of Hebrew and the language from which the original document was translated. See Notaries.
  • All of the documents must be submitted in the original plus 2 photocopies. If a notary translated the document, the original notarized copy and 2 photocopies of the translation should be attached. If the document is not translated, it should be submitted in 3 copies, with the photocopies verified at the office by comparing them to the original document. 

Licensing Exam

The licensing exam is offered several times a year. Dates of upcoming exam are available online on the Misrad Habriu site. A syllabus is also available online.

Knowledge of Hebrew

A good working knowledge of Hebrew is essential. It is strongly advised to study Hebrew before you arrive and then to take Ulpan upon arrival. Even where an immigrant professional works entirely with speakers of his/her mother tongue, it is still necessary to deal with the various agencies that make up the Israeli medical network. For a full listing of Ulpan options, see the Ulpan Guide.

In addition to regular ulpan, Misrad HaKlita offers an Ulpan for medical professionals - shlav bet. The class opens provided there are enough people who are interested. Be in touch with your local branch of Misrad HaKlita to find out when the next class will begin. For more information, see Medical Ulpan.
