Due to many restricting conditions the practical hands-on training is very limited. Theoretical lectures are not given as part of this program. No clinical or basic research is undertaken. The routine work is carried out in Hebrew. Wherever possible the hospital staff will assist the student with non-speaking English patients.
Clinical knowledge is obligatory for the disciplines chosen by the start of the applied electives.
Each elective discipline is for a minimum of 4 weeks. Students may apply for the program more than once during their medical studies, however, the total length of all electives cannot exceed 22 weeks. Language - participants must have comprehensive knowledge of spoken and written Hebrew or English. On these occasions the elective will start or end on the day after. Completion of forms from the student's School will be considered on an individual basis.
