Malpractice

  • The exchange program was designed as an opportunity to get a taste of an advanced foreign medical system. It is not meant to replace any stage of your formal education.

  • We are not able to issue any letter regarding your schooling status. Any requests for such letters can be directed to the staff of the wards after arrival only. 

     

Accommodation

 

Clerkship is non-resident and students are responsible for finding their own accommodation and for all their living and traveling expenses. 

Upon arrival, we will try to find a place for you at the University dorms.

However, there is a shortage of dormitories in Jerusalem, especially during the school year. Therefore we cannot guarantee that rooms will be available.

 

The dormitories cost about 500$ US (payment in Israeli Shekels) per month. All rooms are shared by two people. If you want to stay in the dorms, e-mail the exchange officer one month prior to your arrival.

 

Important: A student must leave a DEPOSIT of 500$ / 400 Euro / 2000 Israeli Shekels for the dorms manager. The deposit will be returned to the student if he/she leaves on schedule and makes sure the room is in its original state.

*Students in need of accommodation who are on exchange program through 
university agreements should contact the registrar of Hebrew University at least 6 
weeks in advance at inbals@savion.huji.ac.il. For these students, a deposit is not 
necessary. 
 

 

 

While visiting you will have plenty of time to travel around Israel and the neighboring surrounding and we strongly recommend that you do so. Moreover, we will gladly help you planning your stay. As noted above, all traveling expenses are under the student's responsibility.
