The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine is the medical school of Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. It is located in Bat Galim, Haifa, Israel.
The faculty was established in the late 1960s by a group of physicians who found the need for an academic school specialized in medical education and research.
