Atlantis Program in Madrid, Spain

This program allowed me to shadow doctors and healthcare professionals in a rural hospital in Madrid, Spain for three weeks. This unique experience allowed me to develop meaningful relationships with my peers, the doctors I followed, and the patients I encountered in various departments of the hospital. I also was able to have the chance to travel on the weekends, which offered me a chance for personal growth, adventure, and soul-searching. This opportunity helped me confirm my passion for medicine and allowed me to see the unique perspective of foreign healthcare, especially with the language barrier. Overall, I had an amazing time, and would recommend this experience to any pre-medical student interested in going abroad.
