Haredi Health
One very different aspect of her par-
ticipation in the course on interna-
tional medicine was her final year of
the program. Most students spend
part of their fourth year in clerkship,
working in an underdeveloped coun-
try with numerous medical chal-
lenges. By this time, though, the
Surowitzes were the parents of a 6-
month-old baby boy, Eitan. (They
now have another son, Aviel, 3
months old). Dr. Surowitz was invit-
ed instead to conduct a research proj-
ect on haredi (fervently Orthodox)
women in Jerusalem.
Haredim have the reputation
among some as being a bit lax about
prenatal care, compared to the general
population of Israel. After creating
extensive questionnaires and doing a
()Teat deal of research — all in
Hebrew (she studied Hebrew in col-
lege and attended an ulpan, an inten-
sive Hebrew study course, while in
Israel) — she conducted interviews
with many haredi women.
"What I found is that haredi women
actually took better care of themselves
[during pregnancy] than the average
non-religious woman," she says.
Dr. Surowitz also debunks the
notion that Israeli medicine lags
behind the United States. "It's actually
right on par," she says.
But it wasn't only medicine she
learned while living in Israel.
She remembers the people, she
says. "I had the opportunity to see
families and communities we hadn't
been exposed to here."
She and her husband became
friendly with a number of religious
families and, in turn, became more
observant themselves.
"In my third year, we moved to
Jerusalem, where I did my rotations
and lived in the Old City," Dr.
Surowitz says. "It was an amazing
experience for us."
Today, Jeff Surowitz assists Rabbi
Avraham Jacobowitz and Machon
L'Torah/the Jewish Learning Network
of Michigan, working with Jewish stu-
dents at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Surowitz has just started her resi-
dency at Providence Hospital in
Southfield and is on her way to
becoming an OB/GYN. What she
studied in Israel, she plans to practice
in the United States.
"Though most of the emphasis here
is strictly on [medical] knowledge, I
learned in Israel not to focus on just
the obstetrics or the gynecology," she
says. "I learned to look at the whole
woman and her health."
