International Students Visit the Faculty - World ORT in collaboration with Braude Academic College

An international delegation of students on behalf of World ORT, in collaboration with Braude Academic College, visited the Faculty of Medicine on July 31, 2023 and met Dr. Alon Barash who showed them innovative methods for studying anatomy using a virtual imaging table (anatomage) and other technologies.

Students from this program come to Israel for a summer seminar every year for 3 weeks. Twenty gifted students selected from 12 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Panama, Mexico, Italy, Bulgaria, Russia, Colombia, South Africa, Czech Republic, France and Israel) were admitted to the program which is funded by the World ORT Organization. As part of the program, the students carried out research in the fieldד of environmental engineering, development of cancer drugs, and biomedicine. In addition, the students were exposed to Judaism at heritage sites in Jerusalem, Safed and Masada in order to expose them to the culture of Israel.

Special thanks to Hadas Oren for organizing the visit, and to Dr. Itai Malek of Braude.
