The perfect Pre-Med Adventure

Though I was highly confident in my decision to become a doctor before the program, I feel even more strongly about medicine now. Being able to shadow doctors in a system I had never encountered before was a great experience because it opened my eyes to the multitude of professional opportunities available to medical graduates. In addition to shadowing, volunteering was such a fun opportunity, and I got to know the doctors I was shadowing at a personal level. I learned so much about what it means to treat patients and how to conduct oneself in the stressful environment of a healthcare institution. Not only that but the cultural immersion and social engagement I experienced in Larissa made the trip very worthwhile. I wish I could go back during the summer and stay for 3 weeks.
The Philotimo program overall is the best experience out there for a premed student.
