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!

Hi, my name is Shanice Ramdeen. I am a medical student in the University of the West Indies. I chose to do this internship in Greece to see the differences between the medical practices in Greece. It has been a wonderful experience. Especially exploring the culture of Greece and I would recommend it to anyone. Beyond the academic insights, I was deeply moved by the warmth of the people and the beauty of landscapes. Every day brought something new-from hospital rounds to local traditions-which made this journey unforgettable. Thank you.

My name is Esther, I am from Georgia, United States. I am a premed student and I chose to make this medical internship so that I could get a different experience in a hospital outside the U.S. Just get to see medicine practices outside where I live. This internship has given me the opportunity to see so many different types of medicine, I’ve been able to shadow a cath lab, neurology, narcology, I’ve seen a lot of surgeries. It’s been very valuable because those are areas I never really expected to be able to shadow. Seeing them has helped me narrow down what I would exactly like to do in my future as a medical professional. For example, I’ve seen a lot of surgeries and decided that surgery is not my thing. So, it’s definitely been a valuable trip.
Besides that, I’ve been able to meet a lot of people, a variety of friends from different places around the US, friends from England, Canada and lots of different places. So, I’ve been glad to be able to meet people and then just being in Athens has been a great time. There’s so much to see, and the city itself. There are nearby islands and the coast and everything, so I’ve had a great time being in this internship and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
