Real life experience that fulfills expectations

Hello, my name is Audrey Narhi. I am a second-year University student from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. I chose the medical internship because I really wanted to experience a healthcare system outside of the U.S. I really wanted to relate it back to the U.S. so in my future career I can really have a broader understanding of healthcare in general.

My favorite part about the medical internship was definitely working with the University here. I really loved seeing facilitators in a different setting other than in the U.S. I am a nursing student so I took that very personally. The doctor was very nice in explaining everything. Coordination wise I felt very comfortable and coming into this. When I got off the plane I was very nervous but I had a driver there waiting for me and then when I got to my very nice apartment I was happily greeted and I really felt at home quicker than I thought I would.

Athens, Greece in general, is absolutely beautiful. The medical internship gives you enough time to really explore the city and outside the city- take day/weekend trips. So, there’s a very nice balance of doing your solo traveling, meeting people to travel with as well as gaining experience for your career. So I would highly recommend it. Thank you.
