MedEx is the can’t-miss event for medical professionals considering Aliyah!
The Israeli medical license transfer process is coming to you
This unique event provides medical professionals with the opportunity to meet with representatives from the Israeli Ministry of Health Licensing Division, the Israeli Medical Association (IMA), Israeli health funds (Kupot Cholim), and hospitals. The certification of your documents can only be done in person. This is the only chance you’ll get to begin the process of transferring your medical license and interview for a job in your field – all under one roof!
The MedEx conference is relevant for medical professionals planning Aliyah in 2024 or 2025.
Important to note:
- Conference registration does not sign you up for a timeslot to sit with the Ministry of Health representatives for a licensing meeting. Invitations will be sent out to register for medical licensing timeslots starting around mid-January and on a rolling basis after that.
- Please register using the same email address you used to open your Aliyah application with Nefesh B’Nefesh. If you do not have an open Aliyah application, please go ahead and start one – you must fill out the basic information, accept “terms and conditions” and save the application in order to register to attend the MedEx conference.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR TRANSFERRING A MEDICAL LICENSE
The MedEx licensing appointments are available for medical professionals planning to make Aliyah in 2024 or 2025. If you have any questions, email [email protected]
Please refer to the official Israeli Ministry of Health website for information about transferring your license. Refer to the green buttons below for profession-specific requirements.
Each page includes a detailed list of documentation that must be presented in order to receive licensing approval.
DOCUMENTS TO BRING
Professionals who would like to present their documents at the MedEx must bring their:
1. Original documents (to present)
2. Photocopies of original documents (to submit)
3. Your passport (hard copy plus a copy, for the notary to identify you)
It is extremely important to prepare your documentation in advance, and we are here to help! Let us know if you are unsure about a particular requirement or have questions that comes up as you prepare for your meeting with the representative from the Ministry of Health. The NBN website has additional information about transferring your license and practicing in Israel.
This is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. If you are unable to attend MedEx, please refer back to the full licensing requirements including notarization of your documents. Original documents which are presented at the MedEx do not require additional notarization.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR SPECIALTY RECOGNITION (PHYSICIANS)
The Scientific Council of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) will be joining us at the 2023 MedEx (read more about the IMA here). They will be present to introduce potential physician Olim to the Israeli medical system and provide detailed and technical information about the process of working in Israel. Additionally and critically, they will be assisting physicians with the process of having their medical specialty recognized in Israel, before they make Aliyah.
CLICK HERE for the list of required documentation needed to have a specialty certification recognized in Israel (please note that many of the required documents are duplicates of the documents required for converting a medical license with the Israeli Ministry of Health).
In addition to copies of your documents, you must bring ALL ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS with you to MedEx!

MedEx 2023 Highlights
Registering for a Licensing Meeting
Meetings are available on Sunday, March 19th in New Jersey at the MedEx Event for:
Physicians, Dentists, Paramedical Professionals, Specialty Recognition for Physicians with IMA, Paramedical Professionals, Pharmacists,Nurses (inc. Midwives) & Psychologists
Can’t make it to MedEx?
One of the major highlights of attending the MedEx is the on-site Israeli/American notary who will be available to authenticate your documents. A one-stop-shop experience, all under one roof. While the MedEx is the place to be for medical professionals making Aliyah in the next two years, we understand that circumstances might prevent you from attending. If you were unable to attend the Medex, don’t panic! You can still begin your license conversion process from North America, which we highly recommend, and Nefesh B’Nefesh is here to help.
Explore your profession and licensing requirements here.
Please note that the license conversion process from North America requires you to verify your documents. Please see license requirements for your specific field and pay attention to what documents need to be verified!
You have three verification options:
- Verification with an apostille after having the original document notarized. Please read here to learn more about the process, including NBN discount options. Note: this article refers to Aliyah documents whereas academic documents are somewhat different. Vital records (birth, marriage, death, etc.) always require the signature of the person signing the documents apostilled. In academic documents, it is the Notary’s signature that gets apostilled. This means having the required academic documents notarized. Once notarized, an apostille agent can take care of county certification, if needed, and have it apostilled.
- Bring it to an Israeli notary and have them notarize it.
- A verified copy (אימות העתק, Imut He’etek) from the Israeli consulate.
Once you have completed your Aliyah and your professional license conversion process, you may be eligible for reimbursement of up to 4,000 NIS to cover expenses for notarizing your required documents (available only for options 2 and 3).
Please contact [email protected] with any questions you may have!

Register to Request an Invite to Medex
General Conference Questions
The process will take some time, possibly even a few months. If you are looking to start working as soon as possible, you should begin the process now before you make Aliyah. In addition, once in Israel, you will have to travel from office to office and NOT have the opportunity to have it all done under one roof. MedEx is the only place in the world where you have the opportunity to do this all in one place!
MedEx happens only once a year in the Spring. The next opportunity will be Spring of 2025.
The MedEx licensing appointments are available for medical professionals planning to make Aliyah in 2024 or 2025 but all medical professionals considering Aliyah at any point are welcome to attend. If you have questions, email [email protected].
Only you can make that decision. However, last year, Olim from 19 states and Canada flew in just to attend MedEx and we believe that it was well worth it! MedEx licensing conference will save you time, money, and a lot of headaches!

If your spouse/friend/child is unable to attend, you may present documentation on their behalf at the MedEx, though it is, of course, recommended that they attend. Please bring a signed affidavit that you have permission to present their documentation on their behalf. Obviously, the job fair will not be relevant if you are representing someone else.
This depends on each individual. But if you have an appointment with the Ministry of Health and plan to make the most of the fair, you should plan to be there for 2-3 hours. If you are planning to just come for your meeting you should be there for approximately one hour.
Absolutely! You should also have it ready on a thumb drive or folder, so you can send it via email. Furthermore, in the weeks prior to the MedEx, you’ll have the opportunity to send your CV directly to employers who will have representatives attending the event.
Yes! There will be a full complement of Nefesh B’Nefesh staff on hand to answer any of your questions. Feel free to approach any of the NBN staff present and they’ll make sure your questions are answered.
MedEx is free to attend. There is a cost to use the notary services. One of the major reasons to attend MedEx is to take advantage of authentication services provided, on-site, by an Israeli notary. The cost will be a flat fee of $300 payable by check, Zelle, or cash directly to the notary service. Click here to understand what documents need notarization. Reimbursement may be available through Misrad Haklita, and the details will be provided at MedEx.
One of the best things about the MedEx is the ability to sit one-on-one with Ministry of Health officials. Please be prepared to review your documentation, ask questions, and gain an understanding of what’s needed to complete the process.
Yes, there is.
Please contact us at [email protected] to get the details.
Yes, there will be some light kosher refreshments at MedEx.
Specific field questions
If you passed your USMLEs Step 2(ck) you are entitled to apply for a medical license at MedEx, please follow the instructions provided for physicians. We recommend speaking with the IMA representatives on how to move forward with your residency in Israel. Please note that there may be grant opportunities available should you pursue a residency in Israel. Please speak with us at the MedEx or email us at [email protected].
The specific exam that you require is held twice a year, on specific dates. There are strict deadlines for each exam date. So, make sure to sign up on time.
Specialty recognition (relevant for physicians only)
It’s similar to your medical license and your board certification. In Israel, you’ll have your Israeli medical license (approved by the Ministry of Health) and your specialty recognition (approved by the Israeli Medical Association).
A Hatama – or as formerly called Histaklut – is an orientation/on-boarding period for doctors whereby you’ll mainly work in your specialty under supervision, usually in a hospital setting. It’s to your benefit to make the most of this time period, whether it’s learning cultural differences or how the computer and referral systems work. Please note that it’s incumbent on you to find a recognized location that will accept you for this time period.
Misrad Haklita (the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration) set up a fund (קרן קליטה, Klita fund) to subsidize hospitals for the salaries of Olim doctors throughout their Hatama period. Please note: Misrad Haklita pays minimum wage ONLY (5572 NIS per month) and you can certainly negotiate a supplement, especially if your Hatama is conducted in the hospital in which you are expected to work. Discuss this with the HR liaison at the hospital in which you are going to work. Please contact us at [email protected] if you encounter any problems with this.
Documents questions
No. If your official documents are in English, they do not need to be translated.

Please make sure you review the documentation requirements for your field ahead of MedEx and come prepared. If you do not come with all of your documents, please speak with our staff at MedEx or at another time to see how best to move forward. You can follow up by emailing us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Professional Integrity Certificate (also known as a letter of good standing) is issued by the competent authorities from the applicant’s state of origin, confirming that there were no disciplinary, malpractice, or medical ethics complaints against the applicant. This letter must be mailed directly from the medical board of the state, in which you are licensed, to the Israeli ministry of Health. Another option is to have it mailed to your home address. However, you must keep it in its sealed envelope and submit it with the rest of your documents. In these two scenarios, no verification is needed. If your medical board will only do it by email, please contact us at [email protected].
Don’t give anyone your original documents! You’ll need to BRING your original documents for presentation and notary authentication, but you should keep them in your possession!
If you are a nurse or psychologist, you’ll need to have your degree recognized by the Ministry of Education. Click here for more information. You can only complete this process as you get closer to your Aliyah date, or after you make Aliyah. This should not delay any other document processing toward your Israeli medical license. Should you have any questions about this process, please reach out to our specialist, Shlomit Ben-Michael, at [email protected].
Licensing Exams
Yes! If you are attending MedEx and planning to submit your documentation for licensing, you need an appointment. You need to first register for the event and then you will have the opportunity to register for a specific appointment time.
We strongly encourage you to make a licensing appointment! MedEx appointments will fill up and therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to assist you without an appointment. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
Invitations to schedule appointments will be sent out starting mid-January and on a rolling basis depending on your target Aliyah year, profession, and other factors.
Please try to be flexible with your schedule, but if you’re still having a scheduling conflict, please email us at [email protected].
You may take the exam in English, but you must indicate that on your exam request form. If you are taking the exam as a new Oleh you are entitled to 30 minutes extra time, upon presenting your Teudat Oleh (Aliyah booklet).
