FAU's Worldwide Reach
Building on the effort to become the preeminent research institution in the Southeast, FAU is rapidly expanding its global reach across Israel, from the top of Mount Carmel to Jerusalem to the Mediterranean Sea and beyond.
One example is the exchange of fourth-year medical students between FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine and the Technion Israel Institute of Technology. This exchange includes students rotating at Boca Raton Regional Hospital as acting interns in internal medicine and general surgery, as well as students doing similar rotations at Technion.
