Get to Know BGU 

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is driven by innovation, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. But who are the people and programs that bring that vision to life? 

We’re excited to launch a new series, “Get to Know BGU,” offering you a closer look at the faculty, students, and groundbreaking research shaping a brighter future for Israel and the world. 

Meet Dr. Daniel Elbo Arama

Dr. Elbo Arama has spent more than two decades transforming his education at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) into lifesaving action on the front lines of emergency response. 

When our medical students train for emergencies, they do far more than study textbooks. At BGU’s one-of-a-kind medical simulation center, students step into real-world scenarios, often working with actors portraying patients. Here, they learn not only how to manage critical medical situations, but how to care for the person at the center of it all. Daniel and his team observe each simulation in real time, providing detailed evaluation and feedback that sharpens clinical skills, judgment, and compassion. 

But don’t just take our word for it. Meet Daniel and see his work in action.
