The Dermatology Interest Group Association (DIGA) has added its first international member. The Medical School for International Health, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center has become DIGA's first international chapter.

In 1996, in affiliation with Columbia University Medical Center, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Faculty of Health Sciences instituted a four-year M.D. degree program to graduate doctors with special skills in primary care and community, preventive, and population-based medicine. The curriculum concentrates on these areas of medicine as they impact on problems of international health and is designed to address emerging issues in healthcare worldwide.
