"Jews in Medicine" Presented by The Genesis Prize Foundation

The Jewish commitment to saving and preserving life dates back thousands of years. Throughout history, Jews have been at the forefront of medicine as surgeons and scientists, nurses and neurologists, and many other medical professions. In the modern era, more and more Jews joined the medical profession, and our representation in medicine became far greater than our percentage of the world population. Jews invented some of the most significant medical innovations of our time, including the pill camera, the Heimlich maneuver, and the world's first 3D printed heart made with actual human cells. And over the past two years, Jewish doctors and scientists have helped lead the way out of the COVID pandemic, the world's worst public health crisis in a century.
