From training the next generation of medical leaders to deploying emergency volunteers in times of crisis – APF connects North American healthcare professionals with Israel’s most pressing needs.
APF is an organization of North American healthcare professionals and others devoted to the advancement of medical leadership and excellence in Israel. Its mission is to support the health and wellbeing of the Israeli population by promoting innovation, high-quality training and expert medical care.
Because APF is independent of any single medical institution, we serve a wide range of hospitals, clinics, and programs across Israel — cultivating deep, trusted relationships with both the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Medical Corps of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) built over more than seven decades of service.
From fellowship training to emergency preparedness courses to the official State of Israel EMV Registry, APF connects North American expertise with Israel’s most critical healthcare needs.

The nursing shortage in Israel is reaching critical levels. APF helps through Nursing Education Grants and Trauma and Mass Casualty training to ensure Israelis receive the best possible care.
In times of disaster, Israel turns to APF. Our EMV Registry is the official organization designated by the State of Israel to mobilize North American medical professionals in the event of a declared national crisis.
The shortage for physicians in Israel today is well documented. As the population continues to grow, and older doctors are retiring the need for quality medical care has never been greater.
