Program Reviews

The Philotimo Dental was beyond amazing! I shadowed experienced dentists, learned about patient care, and even got insights into the latest dental procedures. We cover many things during the hours. Monday to Friday shadowing the team of doctors, and during the evenings we all went out to eat. The accommodation was perfect, close to all the best parts of Athens. I loved visiting the Acropolis and enjoying the cafés. Thank you, Stavros, for organizing such a great program, and special thanks to Dr. Maria and Dr. Sotiria for their guidance!

The Philotimo Dental Program was an unforgettable experience! The hands-on learning at the dental clinic was phenomenal. Observing Dr. Sotiria’s and the other team's techniques and patient interactions gave me clarity about my future in dentistry. The central accommodation made exploring Athens effortless, and the excursions to the market and Acropolis were fantastic. I gained so much experience, letters of recommendation, and certificate of completion.
Thank you, Stavros, for making everything run so smoothly. Highly recommended!

The Philotimo Dental program exceeded my expectations! Shadowing general dentistry with Dr. Maria and Athina was fascinating, and I gained so much insight into patient care. The accommodation was perfect—right in the heart of Athens, near amazing cafés and historical sites. The guided excursions, especially to the Acropolis, added to the experience. The high light of the program is the Greek food during our group meals and excursions.
A big thank you to Stavros for his continuous support. I’m leaving with new knowledge and lifelong memories!

I had the most incredible experience with Philotimo Med Abroad! From the moment I arrived in Athens, everything was well-organized. The accommodation was in a great location, close to cafes, archaeological sites, and the bustling central square. Shadowing general dentistry was eye-opening—I learned so much from Dr. Maria and Dr. Sotiria. The excursions to the Acropolis and the local markets made this trip even more special. Huge thanks to Stavros for making the admissions process smooth and always being there to help. This program is a must for any aspiring dentist!

After my two weeks in the internship program in Greece. I can tell you that Every moment of Philotimo Med Abroad was worth it! The number of surgeries, departments, and the whole process is just amazing. From shadowing in general surgery to working with patients in rehabilitation, I learned more than I ever expected. The trip to Meteora and the Parthenon was unforgettable. The staff, the food, and the Greek hospitality made this program extraordinary. Stavros, you are an inspiration – thank you for everything!

Spending two weeks in the ICU and shadowing top surgeons was life-changing. The robotic surgery exposure was incredible, and the hospital's facilities were outstanding. Greek food was a highlight – the best gyros ever! Our accommodation was nice and safe. Very clean rooms, daily cleaning, and towel replacement. Their breakfast was plain but good. A little boring after 2 weeks but hey! we are here for learning not for fun as Stavros always said. The excursions gave me a deeper appreciation of Greece’s rich history. Thank you, Stavros, for making this program amazing!

During my 2 weeks program in Larissa, Greece. From day one, I felt welcomed in the hospital. I rotated through radiology and cardiology, even observing a pacemaker implantation. The accommodation was modern and very close to everything. Let me tell you about the amount of shadowing and the volunteering hours I gained plus the experience the medical knowledge I gained was priceless.

The city of Larissa itself was a dream – the fresh food, ancient ruins, and breathtaking beaches made every moment special. Stavros and the team went above and beyond!

During my 2 weeks at Philotimo Med Larissa Program. I shadowed in pediatrics and even got to assist with patient care! The doctors were so encouraging and took the time to explain the procedures. I saw a heart surgery that left me in awe! We participated in different medical procedures and had the opportunity to do lab research at the University of Thessaly. I am so blessed to had the chance to be a Philotimo fellow. Greece is stunning, and I miss the sunsets already. Stavros, you made this experience unforgettable!

Philotimo Med Abroad gave me a deeper understanding of medicine. I observed live surgeries, shadowed in dermatology, and participated in a cutting-edge lab. Take into consideration that participating in the program will keep you busy from early morning to late evening. When you go back to the accommodation, you just want to eat and go to sleep.

I also fell in love with Greek cuisine and history. Exploring Athens and the Parthenon was incredible! This program truly balances education and adventure. Thank you, Stavros, for an incredible journey!
