The latest Ministry of Health data presents an impressive picture: Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera has climbed significantly in intern satisfaction ratings. While the institution ranked ninth in 2021, by 2023 it had risen first place among government hospitals and second place in the overall national ranking.
This success is no accident, and it reflects a unique working model that places the young physicians at the center. The hospital's core departments stand out in particular: The Emergency Department (Emergency Room) ranked above the national average and even surpassed major medical centers in satisfaction ratings, while the Pediatrics Department ranked among the top four in Israel.
Interns in Internal Medicine B at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center
Dr. Limor Goldenberg, Internship Program Director at Hillel Yaffe, said, "For us, interns are first and foremost physicians undergoing advanced training. We provide them with an 'open door' policy, giving interns full access to senior staff throughout their journey. Beyond professional training, we invest tremendously in intern well-being, because we believe that a supportive, family-like environment is the key to nurturing the next generation of doctors."
In addition to the educational experience, interns are exposed to exceptional clinical excellence. Hillel Yaffe leads Israeli in several critical, life-saving quality measures, including time to head CT/MRI for suspected stroke, at just 19 minutes – the best in the country. The medical center also exceeds the national targets in cardiac catheterization and hip fracture repair, ensuring interns train at the highest professional standards.
Deputy Medical Center Director and Head of Medical Education, Dr. Benjamin Abo, said, "Hillel Yaffe is an academic medical center that combines top-tier teaching with advanced technologies. The hospital's recent designation as a 'large medical center' enables us to offer interns a dynamic and challenging work environment that serves as an ideal foundation for continued residency training and future leadership roles."
With its unique combination of personal mentoring, clinical excellence, and strong professional development opportunities, Hillel Yaffe Medical Center stands out as an exceptional choice for the next generation of physicians.
In February, Hillel Yaffe will host a residency open day for medical students and interns. For more information, click here >>
