"Hadassah students work with
and learn from highly skilled
faculty, have opportunities to be
more involved in patient care and
get a glimpse of how Beaumont's
six Centers of Excellence focus on
patient care.
"Our students are enriched pro-
fessionally and personally working
with medical students who are
trained differently:' said Yoskowitz,
BSN, MPH, assistant professor of
biomedical science and community
and global health.
"I was placed with Daniel in
my gastroenterology rotation at
Beaumont Hospital:' says Rimma
Polevoy of Oak Park, a fourth-year
Wayne State University (WSU)
medical student. "I've been to
Israel before so it was easy for us
to find things in common. I was
able to help him get accustomed to
Beaumont's computer system and
showed him around the hospital.
"He told me Hadassah Hospital
was large, but Beaumont Hospital
was much bigger than he expected
and that some things were easier
to do here because there are more
resources. For instance, if he need-
ed an MRI machine for a project
he didn't have to wait a week or
so to get one. He also told me he
saw many patients here that were
addicted to pain medication, which
he seldom observed in Israel.
"I'm glad I was able to help. I'm
going to Israel next year to a differ-
ent hospital during my rotations at
WSU Medical School."
Annette Meskin of Sylvan Lake,
former national Hadassah vice
president, said, "This is a wonderful
partnership for Israel. Students are
exposed to a large medical center
different from Hadassah Hospital.
"They get to make their own per-
ceptions about Detroit, about our
health system and about America.
And it's good for the U.S. students
to see how Israeli students work
and communicate with patients:'
And it's been a win-win for the
already-strong connection between
Detroit and Israel.
Joan Epstein, outgoing presi-
dent of Greater Detroit Chapter
of Hadassah, sat next to Israeli
medical student, Noa Gross of
Jerusalem, who came to OUWB for
a one-month stint in endocrinol-
ogy on her own, at the recent local
Hadassah officer installation.
"Noa told me that it was wonder-
ful to see a room filled with people
who have cared so much for Israel
and Hadassah. Her words to me
were, 'We are worlds apart and yet
so connected: I felt wonderful that
entire evening:'
