About the IFOM center

The International Foundations of Medicine (IFOM®) Program offers basic and clinical science exams to medical schools and other organizations worldwide.
The program was founded in 2007 and continues to enable medical schools to assess their students’ knowledge and compare their performance against international benchmarks.
The Faculty of Medicine at the Islamic University of Gaza has since 2013 been recognized as a regional IFOM testing center. As of 2021, the Faculty has also incorporated the IFOM Basic Science Examination (BSE) and Clinical Science Examination (CSE) in the academic program as graduation requirements.
Between 2013 and 2021, the IFOM center at the faculty held 34 examination rounds, through which 346 applicants took the BSE and CSE exams.
