Summer Atlantis Shadowing Abroad: Calatayud, Spain

I absolutely loved my shadowing experience in Calatayud, Spain. I am a pre-PA student and shadowed in OBGYN and general surgery. I was able to observe and ask many questions regarding OBGYN procedures, and I was even able to scrub in and be present for a variety of surgeries from a partial hip replacement to hernia surgeries. It was very interesting to compare the US healthcare system to another nation. I also really enjoyed all the medical professionals I worked with, and we communicated very well because they spoke incredible English. I had a great time getting to know the different students on the trip and connected with my site manager. I would recommend Atlantis to anyone pre-health.
