Shadow Doctors 20+ Hrs/Week w/ #1 Pre-Health Provider

Shadowing in Croatia is like no other shadowing you will ever do. The hospitals are filled with so much history and with surgeons that know so much and are always willing to share their knowledge with you. Everyone is really nice and apart from the shadowing the best part of my trip was to walk alone through the city and do some souvenir shopping. I really recommend doing a solo trip that’s going to benefit you in your academic life but also that provides you with enough personal time so that you can make the most of your time there also.

This is a great program to jumpstart shadowing hours for aspiring medical professionals. Atlantis offers a wide range of specialties to observe while immersing oneself in Croatian culture. There was lots of time for shadowing, and it was overall well-organized. I had plenty of time to explore Zagreb, which was also a big bonus. I loved how we were in a city with many things to do but also had the option to travel on the weekends and program excursions. My City Manager was amazing; he gave us many great recommendations for travel, food, and relaxation.

I had the most amazing time in split Croatia. Throughout my time there I got to shadow in three different specialties, as well as getting to learn the cultural side of Croatia. Our city manager brought us on excursions that exemplified croatian culture as well as being fun for us too I could not recommend this program enough. I also Enjoyed going on little adventures by myself. I felt very safe in Croatia. From shopping around to grabbing a bite to eat, I never felt like my life was In danger. I recommend doing this alone because it really got me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to have the best experience with the best people. I recommend that everyone do this, especially if you’re going into the medical field.

Shadowing doctors in Florence has given me a unique pre-medical profile, as it has been shaped by healthcare systems of multiple cultures. I was given the opportunity to work with multiple departments, with the most engaging doctors, eager to pass on their knowledge. This was a life changing experience, as Italy is a captivating country, from the views to the food to the people. Being a part of the vitality of local florentines, is a niche and irreplaceable experience that I am forever grateful for.

The shadowing program I was a part of in Portugal was the perfect experience that both gave me the refreshing aspect of traveling with a group of friends while also consolidating my interest in medicine as a career path that I want to take. What makes Atlantis shadowing so meaningful is the fact that the doctors you are matched with take great enthusiasm and care in getting to meet and describe their daily lives in and out of the hospital with you, giving you a raw and inspirational example you can always look back to.

This trip was such an amazing experience! Words cannot explain all that I got from this trip. Not only did I have the chance to immerse myself in the culture of Croatia, but I got to meet life long friends. The hospital staff was very welcoming and I got to observe multiple different departments, Two in which I had to scrub in for!! I was very excited the whole duration of my trip. Even when leaving the hospital I was excited to go back the next day and see what was new. I cannot promote this trip enough. It was an amazing experience.

I had such an amazing time shadowing abroad in Zagreb with Atlantis. I was able to make such wonderful friends in my program and had such an enjoyable time exploring the city and learning about the culture, history, and people in Croatia. I was able to learn about various medical specialties throughout my three weeks there. I am so grateful to have had this experience as it helped me learn more about various healthcare systems and the intricacies of life as a physician. It definitely encouraged me to continue on my pathway to medical school!

I was so fortunate to be able to travel to Croatia with Atlantis. This trip absolutely made my summer, I was able to visit a beautiful country and get memorable lifetime experiences with a wonderful group of students with similar interests as me. When we shadowed in the hospital, the doctors were so kind and open to questions and they made sure to allow us to see as many things as possible in our short amount of time there. Outside of the hospital, our host was so kind! She really took care of our every needs and took us on fun excursions. Lastly, Sibenik is such a safe city, traveling alone as a woman is always scary but everyone in my group was so wonderful to hang with and the city felt super safe. I would recommend this trip, 10/10 experience! Thank you Atlantis!
