With fast-developing technologies and communication, the future of the medical school is not clear. The definition of the graduate is shifting from what was forged in the past to a new doctor. The trends are towards more specialization, mastering of modern technologies and scientific achievements, versus community awareness and a return to family doctors. An innovative approach was taken with the development of a program in International Health and Medicine at Ben Gurion University, supplementing the regular curriculum of the Medical School. Such programs might bridge the gap between the doctor in industrial countries and the physician in Third World countries, by creating a physician who will be able to function in cultural environments other than his/her own.
随着技术和通信的快速发展，医学院的未来并不明朗。毕业生的定义正在从过去塑造的形象转变为新型医生。趋势是朝着更加专业化、掌握现代技术和科学成就发展，而不是注重社区意识和回归家庭医生。本古里安大学在国际健康与医学领域开发了一个项目，采取了创新方法，对医学院的常规课程进行补充。这类项目可能会缩小工业化国家医生与第三世界国家医生之间的差距，培养出能够在自身文化环境以外发挥作用的医生。
