Perugia,Italy Atlantis

My summer abroad surgical shadowing experience in Perugia, Italy, was truly life-changing. I had the incredible opportunity to observe skilled surgeons, network with doctors, and connect with other students from around the world. Most of the main doctors spoke English, but downloading Duolingo and embracing the Italian culture made the experience even richer. Exploring the city and hospital taught me so much, not just about medicine, but about myself. This program solidified my decision to pursue surgery, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.
