A Life-Changing Experience with Medicine and Culture

The Philotimo Med shadowing program was an experience of a lifetime being in the operating room for the first time was surreal. I witnessed a knee replasmen and it was fascinating to see the precision and skill of the surgeons.But it wasn’t just about medicine – the program also gave us the chance to immerse ourselves in the beautiful culture of Greece. The trip to Meteora was stunning, with the towering rock formations and historic monasteries. The food was also a highlight – from fresh Greek yogurt to amazing seafood dinners, I couldn’t get enough. Stavros made everything run smoothly, and he was always there to answer any questions. His support and friendliness really made a difference in making this trip both educational and enjoyable.
