THE HOSPITAL

חץ

The medical internship program takes place at the Wolfson Medical Center and the Sylvan Adams Children's Hospital, both located at Ha-Lokhamim St 62, Holon, 5822012.

The hospital can be reached via car, bus and train.

The hospital is a Hebrew-speaking environment, but all of the Save a Child’s Heart doctors speak English (though this is not a given with the other medical personnel). Interns will be met on their first day by a Save a Child’s Heart staff member or volunteer and will be given a tour of the Wolfson Medical Center and introduced to some of the doctors. The internship provides you with an excellent learning opportunity with doctors, who despite being extremely busy are more than willing to share their knowledge.

We highly recommend that interns take the time to come and visit the Children’s Home, where half of our patients reside before and after their surgeries.
