Mission and Objectives
The HRL reflects our conviction that the genetics of human populations present both the greatest challenge and the great opportunity for genetics in the future. We also believe that genetics of a people are most appropriately addressed by scientists who live in the same places as those people. Clearly this requires specialized training and sustainable transfer of technology. By virtue of its unique role in human cultural evolution, the Middle East represents one of the world’s most intense challenges to human genetics. The HRL offers practical and sustainable results for the Life Sciences Department at Bethlehem University. We have identified exactly the components of current genomics technology that can be directly transferred to Bethlehem University, that will be of practical application to medical and public health research in Palestine, and that will enable students at Bethlehem University to obtain up-to-date training in these disciplines.

Our Happy Students
For many years, my dream was to pass MRCOG exams (international exam in obstetric and gynecology specialty) hoping this will be an added value to the medical practice in Palestine. Unluckily, this was hard to achieve as my part two exam, which usually held abroad, was postponed twice in one year because of COVID pandemic. Fortunately this time, thanks to Pearson VUE test centre at Bethlehem University I was able to make it here in Palestine. All in all, I was very happy with my exam experience. The staff members were very polite, kind and professional. They provided great instructions and help when needed. I am really grateful that they helped me to take this opportunity. Thank you so much.
“We had to do a lot of prep work to get the center ready. We, as proctors, are required to be knowledgeable about the systems and software involved and we are constantly updating our knowledge. Pearson is a very professional company, which is why we’re committed to it and to hold up our end of the deal as a trusted institution.”
Abu Alteen lives in Ramallah, he recently took advantage of the test center. He has taken previous certification exams in the United States. Abu Alteen says "What a boon it was to be able to stay home and take care of his testing needs. The proctors were assuring and so responsive to me and my needs. The center was quiet and well equipped, which really helped me to be able to focus on successfully completing my exam. Having this test center takes so much worry out of what was previously a very painstaking task.”
