Question: Drafting Questions for my daughter
Hi all! Im an American-Israeli IDF vet. My daughter also holds dual citizenship, she is in 10th grade. She is interested in going to university in Israel, in particular med school. She is aware of how competitive it is. We have so many questions around her service-
What is the diff is she goes to the army first and studies after vs the other way around?
She is interested in a medical role but does not want to be combat infantry (my wife would kill her lol). Does this mean she is a medic on a base taking care of sore throats? Are there other options?
How does she prepare for the exams that determine her placement in the IDF?
Is a medical role in the IDF helpful when applying to Israeli medical programs?
Thanks to all in advance! Am yisrael chai
