Medical Scholarships and fellowships

Medical fellowships are a key aspect of Hadassah's mission to promote treatment of diseases and up-skilling of medical professionals. Hadassah Australia arranges sub-speciality medical fellowships at a cost of $30,000 per annum per fellowship.

In 2018 Dr Mohammed Majed Rabee Skafi from Hebron was awarded the two-year fellowship for residency in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Hadassah Hospital, Jerusalem. In 2019, Dr Khadra Salami, senior paediatrician at Augusta Victoria Hospital, East Jerusalem, will begin her two-year Paediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation specialisation training at Hadassah Hospital, Jerusalem, bringing her expertise back to the children’s cancer ward at Augusta Victoria and enabling the transplantation surgery to be
undertaken without the need to transfer children to Hadassah.
