Established in 2024 and launching its first class in October 2025, the Gutwirth Medical School represents a historic shift for the Weizmann Institute traditionally a pure research institution into the realm of medical education. This elite, highly specialized school was founded to bridge the widening gap between basic scientific discovery and clinical application. It offers a unique 7.5-year MD-PhD program (the first of its kind in Israel to be fully integrated from day one) designed to train physician-scientists. By combining Weizmann’s world-class research infrastructure with clinical training at Israel's top hospitals, the school aims to produce leaders who can solve urgent medical challenges using the tools of exact sciences, data science, and AI.
The school leverages the existing "Amusement Park of Science" at Weizmann, consistently ranked among the top 10 institutions globally for research quality.
