Support Palestinian Medical Students on Their Journey to Becoming Healthcare Leaders

Over the past 16 months, we’ve witnessed incredible generosity from donors and partners worldwide. Together, we’ve raised over $700,000, helping more than 120 Palestinian medical students whose lives and futures were shaken by the devastation in their homeland. We all saw the heartbreaking collapse of the healthcare system unfold in real time on our screens—a crisis unlike anything witnessed before. But out of this tragedy emerged hope: the students you’ve supported aren’t just random individuals. They are the future doctors, nurses, and humanitarian leaders who will rebuild and heal their communities.

It's time to help them take the next crucial step in their medical careers. A goal of $250,000–$300,000 has been set to cover essential licensing and medical exams to allow them to practice medicine globally. Here’s what your support will cover:

✅ USMLE Exams – Step 1 and Step 2 exams ($1,100 each) for approximately 26 students

✅ OET (English Language Exam) – $400 per student for approximately 55 students

✅ PLAB/UKMLE Exams – Part 1 ($300) and Part 2 ($1,100) for approximately 30 students

✅ Australian Medical Exams (AMC) – Starting at $1,800, with total costs exceeding $6,000 for 3 students

✅ Zamala (Arab Boards) – $2000 per year for 3–5 years for approximately 14 students

✅ Blocked Accounts for Germany – Approximately $14,000 per student for 16 students (this one is a hefty goal and alone is $224,000)!

These costs are significant — but the impact will be life-changing. Every exam funded brings students one step closer to becoming licensed physicians, ready to serve and heal. All funds will be paid directly toward exam fees, and students will be required to demonstrate proficiency in their chosen exams. You’ll receive regular updates on their progress, and direct communication with donors is welcomed — your support is deeply valued and transparent.

These future physicians have already shown incredible resilience and determination. With your help, they will succeed — and the ripple effect of their success will extend far beyond themselves. Please contribute today. Your support isn’t just funding exams — it’s investing in the future of Palestinian healthcare.

The Rising Physicians are ready to make a difference — let’s help them get there!
