Physicians' Exchange Program The World Fellowship's Physicians' Exchange Program was created in order to enable post-graduate physicians abroad to experience Israeli medicine by spending a few months in an Israeli medical atmosphere. This elective program offers prospective participants the opportunity to combine the pleasure of a visit to Israel with a rewarding professional experience. The World Fellowship assists the participant in obtaining a limited and temporary license to practice medicine under supervision in a recognized institution. Approval is generally granted for a minimum period of one month and a maximum of six months. In exceptional circumstances, an extension for a period not exceeding one year will be considered. Applications for the elective program should be sent to the office of the IMA World Fellowship, four months prior to the date of commencement. Applicants must include two copies of the following documents: (1) Receipt of membership, issued by the chairman of the local chapter of the World Fellowship or the IMA office in Tel Aviv. (2) CV and a letter of motivation. (3) Letter(s) of recommendation. (4) A certified copy of the diploma. Authentication of documents can be done at the Israeli Consulate in the country of origin. (5) A certified copy of medical registration (valid licensing) in the country of origin. (6) Proof of coverage by medical insurance in the country of origin. (7) Four passport photographs. Participation in the program is voluntary and not remunerative. Instructions are in Hebrew and English (other languages possible upon request). Requirements of attendance and performance will be established by the head of the medical service who invited the participants. The attendants will be instructed by qualified Israeli registered physicians, and will be working under their direct supervision. The participant may pursue his/her studies, and work within the accepted bounds of the medical discipline/department for which the approval was granted. In some hospitals, board and lodging are available free of charge or for a minimal fee. All professional equipment will be provided, except for a stethoscope.
