International Collaboration and Dental Training
Rambam Healthcare Campus School of Graduate Dentistry
Expanding Continuing Education in Northern Israel
The faculty at the Rambam Healthcare Campus School of Graduate Dentistry approached the Alpha Omega Foundation US to provide financial support for the establishment of the Center for Continuing Education. The center’s mission is twofold: to train dentists in northern Israel and beyond, and to provide ongoing professional enrichment for practicing clinicians. With the support of the Alpha Omega Foundation US, the School of Graduate Dentistry successfully launched a multi-week, postgraduate, on-site training program for dentists in the region.
The center conducted three comprehensive Endodontic courses, each offering 18 hours of instruction that seamlessly integrated clinical lectures with hands-on experience. The overwhelming demand for these courses was evident, with full enrollment in every session.
In addition, the center facilitated an interdisciplinary conference organized by the Rehabilitation Department. This event brought together specialists from various fields, fostering meaningful collaboration and valuable networking opportunities among dental professionals.
This groundbreaking initiative, made possible by the Alpha Omega Foundation US, positions Rambam Healthcare Campus as a leader in advanced dental education for the region, driving significant growth in the field and ensuring equal access for dentists in northern Israel seeking to advance their careers.
Visit by Ukrainian Delegation
The surge of Russian immigrant dentists in Israel - who had previously received minimal and inadequate training in their home country - created an urgent need for a comprehensive retraining program to ensure standardized, high-quality dental care. In response, Alpha Omega, through its foundation, took the initiative to provide essential support and guidance, successfully retraining over 350 dentists from the former Soviet Union. This effort significantly contributed to raising dental healthcare standards across the region.
