This program is for doctors who choose to study abroad and return to Israel after such schooling with increased knowledge and professionalism in their fields.The program's goal is to provide tools for these physicians and their families so they can achieve the optimal adaptation in the Fellowship process, from organizing their move and the transition process.
The transition from one country to another is a significant event in one's life, the opening to new opportunities and growth together with complex requirements and personal and family difficulties. During the transition the families, both children and adults are faced with separation from their familiar circles of support, friends and other family members, and also must cope with the need to adapt to new educational, occupational and social frameworks, all in a foreign language and another culture.
Studies and many years of experience show that professional preparation of traveling abroad will lead to better coping mechanisms throughout the stages of transition, and make the adaptation and absorption more rapid and successful.
