Dr. Milton Rosenbaum, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and one of the nation’s foremost psychiatric teachers, left for Israel by air today to establish a Department of Psychiatry at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School.
Dr. Rosenbaum’s special assignment to Israel has been made possible by a recent grant of $150,000 from the Julius and Marie Scheider Memorial Fund for Neuropsychiatry to the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, it was announced by Mrs. Samuel J. Rosensohn, national president of Hadassah, and Dr. George S. Wise, president of the American Friends of the Hebrew University.
The $150,000 grant, obtained by Dr. Israel S. Wechsler, a member of the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical Advisory Board, covers a ten-year period and is specifically earmarked for psychiatric teaching and research, and for work in the field of neurology. Dr. Rosenbaum will remain in Israel between three and four months.
