Academic Year 2023-24 Opens

Yesterday, December 31, 2023, the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine finally completed the opening of the 2023-24 academic year for all students (with the hope that the serving reservists will also safely return to the classroom, soon).

First-year students in the four- and six-year track medical programs (the first six year cohort!) had their orientation. led by dedicated and excited faculty (clinical studies  commenced on November 5, 2023, three-year track first year on December 3, 2023, and four-year second year on December 24, 2023.)

Prof. Moshe Dessau, Vice Dean Pre-Clinical Education, conducted an online survey among the students in real time at the orientation, and asked each one to write how he or she feels, in one word. The results were presented at the meeting and can be seen here in the picture. Prof. Dessau: "We were happy to see that most of the emotions were of excitement, joy, hope, and motivation."

In the photo below, new medical students at orientation - and new graduate students (25 new student this year) at their orientation. The Dean, Prof. Orly Avni, in the photos, welcomed everyone with warm greetings and words of support.
