Hi everyone, I am Sara Herz, I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I got my degrees in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. I am here in Athens, Greece on a scholarship from my college, which I am very grateful for.

I picked Athens so that I would be able to meet a bunch of different people and the opportunity to intern in a hospital. Everyone here has done exactly what they were instructed to do, I really appreciate all of their help. I couldn’t have asked for a better internship and I would recommend this to anyone.

Hi, my name is Tashir Balard, I am from New Jersey and I came to this program because I basically wanted to see the coacher in a different country and see how they work in a hospital and see the technology and gain a different experience how they do it here, outside the US.

Besides that, I am an undergraduate student in biochemistry and here in Athens is a very nice place, the people were really helpful. For example, I’ve had trouble with the metro and they have helped me very easily. They are very nice.

During my time at the hospital I saw so many surgeries, I also saw a spinal fusion which is a very hard surgery- approximately nine hours- it was really good. I watched a brain tumor surgery. Today I am at the kidney analysis.

The program itself is really nice. The directors are here for you when you need them. They are really one text away. Yes, great time.

Hi, I am Nikita and I come from the University of Newcastle, Australia. I did this program as part of my placement fee at the University. It has been amazing. I’ve seen so many different departments and surgeries.

Greece itself is absolutely incredible; so many things to see and do. And the staff was also amazing. It gave me the chance to work alongside outstanding professionals, learn through experience and gain insights that will stay with me throughout my career.

I truly recommended to everyone!

Hi, I am Zoe, I am a graduate from the University South Florida. I chose this internship because I wanted to explore a new city and shadow doctors. The program directors here have been amazing. They would accommodate our every need.

My favorite thing was that I’ve been able to see the actual surgeries and stand in the rooms.

Athens is absolutely beautiful and I think everyone should visit Athens at least once.

The cultural experiences, the food , and the welcoming atmosphere made this internship even more memorable!

Hi, I am Filomila Mouzouraki, I live here in Greece. I chose this program as an aspiring doctor. It gave me the opportunity to visit different specialties and give me a sense of what I want to do with the rest of my life. I also chose this program because it gave me the opportunity to meet new people and exchange information, experiences and generally just laugh with people from all over the world- because that’s really exciting for me.

As far as the program is concerned, I fell in love with surgery and the OR, because it is an opportunity I don’t think I could have anywhere else.

The coordinators were so nice. I would totally recommend- five out of five stars. They are easy to communicate with and they would give you the advice and the help you need, just one text away. So, it’s cool. And, as a Greek, I will say that Athens is cool as well.

Hi, I am Ingrid, I am from North Carolina. I go to school in California and I chose to go on a dental internship because I wanted to gain experience, especially in Greece and also get to explore the dental industry in more detail.

I’ve had a great experience. I got to see all the different specialties, shadow a lot of procedures and the dentists have all been really nice and welcoming and would answer a lot of questions.

Exploring Athens has also been really great. It’s a great city so I definitely would choose to come here again if I had the option.

Hi, my name is Jackson Deneka and I’m from Tennessee in the US, and I also attend University at Tennessee and I am doing this internship a the Metropolitan Hospital and I’ve really enjoyed my time. It’s given me great opportunities to witness different specialties including surgeries and clinical practice. It’s given me a great opportunity to really decide which health career I want to pursue as a profession.

I chose Athens as a chance to travel abroad, get to meet new people and have a great experience to see what different cultures are like. In terms of medical practices, this internship has given us a lot of opportunity, go out on the weekends, see Athens and enjoy all of the rich history that Athens has to provide. This internship has done a great job of helping me mix balance both between getting shadowing experience and also getting a rich cultural experience. So, I would recommend this to anyone that’s interested in this type of opportunity.

Hi, my name is Anna Passas, I am a nursing student at the Northeastern University. I’m here, in Greece, for the medical internship. I chose Greece partly to practice my Greek and also to working at a hospital in Boston I wanted to compare to how it’s here in Athens. It’s been really great having time to explore and see Athens. See the cultural differences, the food, and also my program was very accommodating. I told them I was interested in cardiology, so they made an effort to show me everything related to cardiology in the hospital. So it’s been awesome, really great!
