APHA Public Health Expo Booth: 469 American Physicians Fellowship for Medicine in Israel Boston, MA The American Physician Fellowship for Medicine in Israel fosters deeper understanding and commitment to the State of Israel through its many innovative and cooperative programs. The founders of APF wisely made the Fellowship Program the flagship of our early goals and it remains so today. Since APF's inception in 1950, over one thousand gifted and deserving Fellows have been chosen through APF's rigorous selection process and been supported in their pursuit of post-doctoral clinical training and research in North America. From cutting edge surgical techniques, to advanced diagnostic tools, to the establishment of new community health clinics, APF is proud to play an integral and critical role in the health care of the people of Israel. APF provides the opportunity for North American health care professionals to receive advanced training in disaster management through our Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Courses in Israel, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Medical Corps of the Israel Defense Forces. These Courses are offered several times a year, presenting emergency and peacetime preparedness techniques. APF is the only organization designated by the State of Israel to maintain a Registry of Emergency Medical Volunteers. In the event of a national crisis in Israel, APF volunteers will be called upon to provide medical care and assistance in civilian hospitals. Additionally APF also provides Research Grants to talented Israeli physicians engaged in basic medical research in Israel. The Solomon Hirsh Nursing Award is granted to several Israeli nurses each year enabling them to visit leading North American medical institutions and learn new methods and techniques to bring back to their respective Israeli hospitals. A new student program is being developed, including an APF Student medical tour to Israel.   Contact: Sarah Benoit sarah@apfmed.org 2001 Beacon St Ste 210 Boston, MA 02135-7786   Phone: (617) 232-5382 Fax: (617) 232-2616 Carol Ghatan info@apfmed.org 2001 Beacon St Ste 210 Boston, MA 02135-7786   Phone: (617) 232-5382 Fax: (617) 232-2616
