Great program for a full experience

Hi, my name is Jessica Escobar and I am from Los Angeles, California. I did a medical internship here at the Metropolitan General Hospital. Overall the experience was amazing, I got to see so many different surgeries as well as being in many different departments that I wouldn’t have necessarily known about if I didn’t do it here.

I thought my highlights of this full experience were definitely being in the theatres downstairs, in operating rooms, seeing orthopedic surgeries as well as cardio surgeries, and neuro surgeries- they do it all here. It was amazing to see, witness, and even be able to scrap, in some surgeries.

Overall, the coordination through this program was amazing, from the airport pickup to even the drop off at your apartment with your fellow interns which honestly made it amazing. Because you aren’t alone, you have your interns that you have to work with every day and, other than that, you’re also in beautiful Athens. So there’s a lot to experience and see. Obviously all the tourist spots but it was nice for you to go with your roommates as well. So, go to work also have some fun. Overall this experience was amazing. Personally, I did it for medical school since I will be applying for the next cycle hopefully getting in. Meeting a bunch of top surgeons here has really elevated my medical application, so I would definitely be getting some letters of recommendation from multiple doctors here.

So, if you’re thinking about it, just do it. This program is amazing.
