I learned what it is like to be a physician every day and I got to rotate in all the hospital's departments and gain a solid perspective of my medical career path. The hospital staff were very friendly and showed us many things. The coordinating team were very organized and they made us feel at home. Our apartment was in a safe area, clean and close to the city center and public transport. Athens is a very safe city with so many things to see and do. The food in Greece was amazing and our coordinators gave us a lot of information to experience Athens as locals do.
What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The surgeons invited us to participate to surgeries and stay next to them throughout the operation. During my first live surgery I was a bit afraid but they were so friendly and explained to us what they were doing and why and I got to love it in the end
