‎An-Najah National University’s medical graduates achieved outstanding results on a wide range of external examinations including, the Medical Licensing ‎‎Examination in the 1948 Lands and the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Results on these external exams from 2016-2021 further extends the University’s record of success.


52 out of 54 medical graduates of An-Najah's Faculty of Medicine and ‎‎Health Sciences at the University, have succeeded in passing the Medical ‎Licensing ‎Examination in the 1948 Lands, thus obtaining their licenses ‎enabling ‎them to practice the medical profession in clinics, hospitals and ‎medical ‎centers in the occupied territories of 1948.

The results showed that An-Najah graduates got the highest pass rate of all medical students from all universities; that is, 96.3% pass rate.

Also, a number of the University’s medical graduates successfully passed all eight tests of the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) sequence, which is required for any doctor to obtain a license to practice medicine in the United States.
