I Believe
Prof. Shlomo Noy Dean of the Faculty
Today, all fields are moving toward a multi-system holistic approach in which a therapist will be able to deal with a variety of problems across different fields. This is a new degree, the first of its kind in Israel, that draws from experience gained all over the world on these subjects.
I Believe
Danit Mashash-Halperin Graduate, Occupational therapist specializing in neurological, cognitive and hand rehabilitation
This degree enriched me professionally. The courses are very interesting and very relevant to my areas of work in various fields of rehabilitation. In addition to learning together with other professionals who taught me so much, the mutual enrichment created a deep understanding and emphasized the enormous possibilities and benefits of multi-disciplinary work. I felt that during my studies, they knew what to give and how to accommodate us as students and showed flexibility and sensitivity during difficult times. All in all, a positive and interesting experience. I highly recommend this degree program.
I Believe
Orit Ben Shushan Graduate, Occupational therapist and projects manager
Acquiring a degree in health and rehabilitation sciences let me discover a wonderful combination between the worlds of treatment and technology, accompanied by professionalism, openness, and practical tools. After my studies, I began to explain the purpose of interventions to the children I treat clearly and in simple language. I used technological tools to make learning meaningful and accessible for them. This approach changed my way of thinking significantly.
I Believe
Linoy Sarusi Occupational therapist
During classroom discussion, there were topics that made me feel as if I was placed in front of a mirror that presented the prejudices I hold in different contexts. The consciousness developed through my studies allows me to ask the right questions – both to myself and to the patients I work with.
