curriculum
The curriculum combines theoretical and clinical studies. Courses given in nursing, medicine, and society during the first year form the basis of continuous studies and are prerequisites to continue in the second year. Clinical studies and practical experience begin in the second semester of the first year and continue alongside theoretical studies. Clinical experience exposes students to clinical fields in various health organizations which provide health services to the public.
Clinical studies are based on the Ministry of Health’s Nursing Administration and are conducted in a wide range of divisions: adult nursing (internal medicine, surgery), women’s issues, pediatrics, community nursing, mental health, emergency medicine, and rehabilitative nursing.
Theoretical studies take place on the Ashkelon Academic College campus. Clinical studies are conducted in various centers, hospitals and community health systems.
The syllabus is taught over a 4-year period of 8 semesters.
