International Program
The Cheryl Spencer Department of Nursing has English-language courses designed to provide International Students a learning experience outside their country.
Bachelor’s Degree Students
The International Study Abroad Program for Bachelor degree nursing students is a semester-long, English-language program with theoretical/classroom courses taught on campus at the University of Haifa and clinical experiences taught offsite in hospitals and clinics located within the city of Haifa and other locations in northern Israel.
The clinical practicum is unique in that it employs experienced and devoted faculty and nursing mentors who use a variety of creative methods to coach and guide students through their clinical learning experiences. Nursing mentors are first and foremost nurses. They know their clinical sites as they are nursing staff where they provide clinical mentoring. Equally importantly, they are specially trained by the University of Haifa in providing clinical education. For questions on the clinical practicum, please contact the Head of the Academic Clinical Unit – Ms. Dalit Wilhelm
