complete rotations in
specialties including
trauma, hematology/
oncology, general
surgery and family
medicine.
Fourth-year medical students
are accustomed to moving from
one clinical rotation to the next.
But earlier this year, six Wayne
State University senior medical
students rotated halfway around
the world. They were the first to
travel the 5,932 miles from Detroit
to Haifa for a clinical elective.
The students are training at the
Rambam Health Care Campus,
which is affiliated with the
medical school at the Technion-
Israel Institute of Technology.
Their time in Israel began a
student medical exchange
program finalized in November
2011.
"It's an important trip because
these students are our initial
ambassadors," says William
Lyman, professor and associate
chairman of pediatrics and
director of the Children's
Research Center of Michigan.
After getting the students settled,
Lyman will continue to develop
WSU educational and research
initiatives in the region.
The students are Amer Afaneh,
Rebecca Kornas, William
Nettleton, Evan Sell, Michael
Warren and Sarah Wolf. They will

also has finalized
student exchange
programs with
Hebrew University
in Jerusalem and Al
Quds University in
Palestine. The goal
is to expand these
agreements to include
exchanges of faculty,
medical residents
and other health-care
professionals.

Provost Ronald Brown,
Maryjean Schenk, M.D., vice
dean for medical education, and
Kendra Schwartz, M.D., professor
of Family Medicine and Public
Health Sciences, were also part
of the WSU team that traveled to
Israel and Palestine to solidify the
agreements.
Another group of WSU students
will train in Jerusalem this spring.
"There are multiple advantages
for the students," Lyman says.
"Clinically, they get to see a
different way of practicing
medicine. As future practitioners,
it exposes them to how
nationalized health care can work
in an efficient way. And they will
become better educated in the
application of patient/family-
centered care for patients from
that part of the world, as many of
the patients we serve here have
their origins in the Middle East."111
