Every year we receive some 80 requests from Israeli doctors to support their fellowship training in North America--training they can't receive in Israel.
Between now and June 30, a generous donor has offered to match the next $25,000 in donations to help fund those amazing Israeli medical researchers and clinicians.
When the Fellows eventually return to Israel, they bring home cutting-edge skills and advanced knowledge of their specialties.

In May, Colonel Dr. Tarif Bader, a proud member of Israel's Druze community and the (incoming) first Druze Surgeon General of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), participated in a small gathering of friends and colleagues hosted by Dr. Frederick and Yaffa Lukash of Great Neck, NY.
Dr. Bader presented insights from his three overseas humanitarian missions along with his experiences treating Syrian refugees and Haitian and Nepalese earthquake survivors. His talk was arranged by APF's Chapter Organizing Committee. If you would like to join the committee, please contact amir@apfmed.org.
