The State of Israel Physicians' Law of 1987 requires all immigrant physicians to pass a state licensing examination in order to practice medicine. The examination is prepared by the Board of Examination for the Medical License, appointed according to the Ministry of Health regulations of 1987. It consists of 220 written multiple choice questions in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology. As decided by the Board of Examination, the examinations are given in Hebrew, English, Russian, Spanish, Rumanian, Bulgarian, French, Polish, Portuguese and Arabic. Physicians required to take the examination can participate in special preparatory courses given in university-affiliated hospitals. The mark received at the end of the course is taken into consideration in the final grading of the candidate. Since 1988, 1,985 physicians have been examined, 89.3% of whom were immigrants from Russia and only 3% from Western countries. Of these, 1,968 (65.9%) were licensed. Factors affecting success rate were: age (mean 34 years), with the highest success rate at ages 31-35; length of medical experience, with the best results in those with 11-15 years of experience (mean 12); and country of origin, which is crucial. The success rate in immigrants from Western countries was 79.2%, from South America 72.3% and from Russia and Eastern European countries about 60%.
以色列1987年的《医师法》要求所有移民医生通过国家执照考试才能行医。该考试由根据1987年卫生部规定任命的医疗执照考试委员会出题。考试包括220道关于内科、外科、儿科、精神病学以及妇产科的书面选择题。根据考试委员会的决定，考试以希伯来语、英语、俄语、西班牙语、罗马尼亚语、保加利亚语、法语、波兰语、葡萄牙语和阿拉伯语进行。需要参加考试的医生可以参加在大学附属医院举办的特殊预备课程。课程结束时获得的成绩会在候选人的最终评分中予以考虑。自1988年以来，已有1985名医生参加了考试，其中89.3%是来自俄罗斯的移民，只有3%来自西方国家。在这些人中，1968人（65.9%）获得了执照。影响成功率的因素有：年龄（平均34岁），31至35岁的成功率最高；医疗经验时长，经验在11至15年（平均12年）的人成绩最好；以及原籍国，这一点至关重要。来自西方国家的移民成功率为79.2%，来自南美洲的为72.3%，来自俄罗斯和东欧国家的约为60%。
