Your sponsorship helps cover a Fellow’s costs during this training and gives you the opportunity to connect directly with the physician you support, both during and after their fellowship.
Since 1951, APF has sponsored more than 1,500 Israeli physicians as they trained in leading U.S. and Canadian medical centers. Many have returned home to become hospital presidents, department chairs, and leaders across Israel’s healthcare system.
By awarding me the APF scholarship, you have lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus more on my work. Your generosity has inspired me to learn and develop professionally. I hope one day I will be able to use the skills and the knowledge I get during the fellowship to advance medicine in Israel
Dr. Alex Zendel
APF Fellows spend one to two years at major academic medical centers in the U.S. and Canada, training in advanced clinical and research techniques. When they return to Israel, they bring those skills to medically underserved communities, often becoming the only specialists of their kind in their region.
Your sponsorship helps cover a Fellow’s costs during this training and gives you the opportunity to connect directly with the physician you support, both during and after their fellowship.
Israel’s academic medical centers produce world-class research, but the country still faces the same subspecialty shortages seen in parts of the U.S. Sponsoring a Fellow helps close that gap by training doctors who return home ready to lead.
Your support today helps ensures that we have strong, skilled and competent leaders who will drive Israel’s healthcare forward.
