| Israeli Trauma and Mass Casualty Nursing Course at Rambam Health Care Campus
The American Physicians Fellowship for Medicine in Israel is pleased that it could facilitate, with a special grant from the bequest of the last Dr. Alvin Hoffman, an Israeli Trauma Mass Casualty Nursing Course at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa. Twenty-five nurses from 16 hospitals throughout Israel participated in this first-ever Course this past January. The goal of the Course is to promote knowledge of mass casualty trauma to the nursing staff that would treat these patients in the ER, ICU and Surgical Wards. The Course was organized by the Emergency Division of the Ministry of Health, The Israeli Trauma Society, The Teaching Center for Trauma, Emergency and Mass Casualty Situation, and the APF.

| Solomon Hirsh Nurse Reunion - Israel
On February 24, 2009 a Hirsh Nurses Reunion was held at Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv. Dr. Richard Hirsh visited Israel to participate in this very special occasion. In 1988 Dr. Hirsh established the Solomon Hirsh Memorial Nurse Education Fund at the American Physicians Fellowship for Medicine in Israel in memory of his father. The Fund sponsors Israeli nurses for short-term specialized training at leading medical centers in North America. Close to sixty nurses have been sponsored over the past 20 years. Many of them came to the Reunion to meet Dr. Hirsh and tell him how very important their training was for their careers, for their patients, and for the hospitals with which they are associated.
