First Day of School! For Real!

The first day of the 2021-22 academic year opened up yesterday, October 10, 2021. After almost two years of Covid-19 restrictions, it was a pleasure to again see, hear, and feel the presence of students on campus.

Orientation meetings were held for both the 151 new MD students (103 four-year track and 48 three-year track) as well as the 20 new MSc students and 13 new PhD students.

The graduate students heard encouraging words from Prof. Karl Skorecki, the Dean; Prof. Omry Koren, outgoing Chairperson of the Graduate Degree Committee; Prof. Meital Gal Tanamy, Chairperson of the Graduate Degree Committee; Prof. Michal Blank, Chairperson of the Graduate Teaching Committee; Chani Rubin, Graduate Degree Coordinator; Shlomit Nishri, Head Librarian; and Natalia Saleev of the Student Union.

The MD students were greeted by Prof. Skorecki; Prof. Eric Shinwell, Associate Dean, Medical Education; Prof. Daniel Glikman, Vice Dean, Pre-Clinical Studies; Dr. Ram Cohen, a graduate and Northern Stars resident; Sharon Mines, Administrative Deputy to the Associate Dean of Medical Education; Anna Sherman, Chairperson of the Student Union; Dr. Amitai Oberman, Chairperson of the Achievement Committee.

Classes started immediately after the orientation assembly.

We wish all students, and staff, success and health this academic year!
