After a lot of planning, cancelling, re-planning, re-cancelling, and phone-tag, I have finally managed to set up an event at UMass. JewMass (The Jewish Students' Organization at UMass Medical School) is sponsoring a talk on January 25th by Dr. Norton Greenberger, the President of APF: The American Physicians Fellowship for Israel. Dr. Greenberger will be speaking about the impact this past summer's Israel-Lebanon War had on the Israeli Healthcare System. He will also discuss ways for American Healthcare Workers to get involved in supporting Israel: whether through subsidized trips to Israel to study emergency medicine or through social and political action.
The APF is a fantastic organization that is involved primarily in strengthening the relationship between North American and Israeli Health Care Professionals. The APF helps to send American students, physicians, and other health care profressions to Israel to experience and help the Jewish State while bringing Israelis to America to further their training. In addition, the APF prepares North American physicians for crisis medicine in Israel and is recognized for its amazing work in bringing a large number of doctors to help the over-worked Israeli Medical System during the Yom Kippur War of 1973. The APF also runs a (free!) Birthright Trip for Young Jewish Professionals interested in visiting Israel each Summer.
The Time, Date, and Place are Set: Thursday January 25th 4:45-6:15pm in the Faculty Conference Room at UMass Medical School. So if you are in the Worcester Area, stop on by for a great talk followed by a coffee/tea/cookie shmooze. Whether you are a Health Care Professional or just a supporter of Israel (both Jews and Non-Jewish Supporters of Israel), we'd love to have you...
