Upholding Our Legacy: A New Year Message From Our President

Dr. Michael Frogel - APF President
In 1952, Dr. Morton J. Robins, an APF Founder and National President wrote -
"...I envision a healthy, steady, powerful liaison and contact between the medical profession in America and Israel. Through the APF and with the residencies made available by American hospitals, young Israeli physicians will be given the opportunity to acquire valuable and useful techniques in the United States, which they will utilize for the benefit of Israel."

 
We thank you for your continued support and we wish you a peaceful, healthy, and prosperous New Year!


In 1984 APF Granted an American Podiatric Doctor a Fellowship in Israel...(read his unique story below)...
Dr. David Alper
Dr. David Alper tried to get his foot officially in the door of Israeli medicine in 1984. It was not a success in the way he'd initially intended.
The then-28-year-old podiatrist was a 1984-85 APF fellow in reverse, so to speak. He went from the United States to Israel for a year, with funding. His plan, shared by two other podiatrists who accompanied him, was to introduce the specialty of foot and ankle medicine to the Holy Land. (Podiatry also includes some medical care of the lower leg.) The three hoped to pave the way for American podiatrists to obtain licenses to practice in Israel and to, one day, establish Israeli podiatric training.
