Internships in Croatia

Croatia always seems to be at a unique crossroads in Europe. Eastern Europeans often think of it as western, western Europeans often think of it as eastern, and when you are actually there it feels more aligned with the southern states of Italy, Spain, and Greece. A laid-back country with one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, Croatia is the perfect place to spend a summer interning abroad while basking in the Mediterranean lifestyle.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Croatia

Locations

Croatia is a very small country, with a population of just over 4 million citizens. Interning abroad here it is likely that you will find yourself rooted in one of the few large cities sprawling along the Croatian landscape.

Zagreb is the country’s capital and by far it’s largest city, with nearly 800,000 residents. Located in the northern regions of the country, Zagreb is a major European transportation hub and the center of most of Croatia’s economic and political activity. It’s major industries are in the service and high-tech sectors, so prospective interns interested in these areas will do good to look for placements in the capital city.

Split is the country’s second largest city, and is also thought to be one of the oldest settlements in Europe. Pristinely located on the southern end of the Dalmatian coast, Split’s architecture and views of the Adriatic Sea are breathtaking. Split’s economy is more based in heavy industry than Zagreb – shipbuilding, plastics, and textiles are some of its most productive areas – but it is also a very popular tourist spot, making internships in travel and hospitality plentiful.

Internships are also offered in smaller cities of Croatia such as Rijeka, Pula, and Vukovar. Be sure to do some research about the different areas of Croatia to decide which might appeal most to you.

The best experienc!

Program: Join Atlantis: Pre-Health Shadowing 60+ Hours w/ Top Doctors

I attended an Atlantis program in Valladolid, Spain in July of 2019! I absolutely loved the program because I got to travel, meet new people, watch surgeries and consultations, explore multiple cities of Spain and experience the culture, get shadowing hours (which is required by a lot of the grad schools I’m applying to), and so much more! Now, 4 years later I am still benefiting from the program because I get to talk about it in my PA school applications and interviews! I would recommend this program to any pre health student because it’s a great way to get a feel for medicine and different specialties, study abroad, and make great connections!

Program: Join Atlantis: Pre-Health Shadowing 60+ Hours w/ Top Doctors

My Atlantis experience in Genoa was a transformative chapter that seamlessly intertwined academic exploration, cultural immersion, and personal growth. Through shadowing medical professionals, I gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of healthcare, fostering a deeper understanding of my future role as a speech language pathologist. Beyond the hospital, the city itself became my classroom, teaching me the art of cultural adaptability and offering a profound appreciation for diversity. The guidance of our dedicated city manager, coupled with Atlantis' comprehensive support, ensured that every facet of the program was seamlessly orchestrated, allowing me to focus on extracting the utmost value from each moment. From indulging in delectable local cuisine to forming lasting bonds with peers from around the globe, every interaction contributed to a profound sense of cultural humility and camaraderie. In retrospect, this experience has not only reinforced my passion for the medical field but also imparted life lessons that extend beyond textbooks. As I embark on the next phase of my journey, I carry with me a global perspective, an open heart, and the confidence to navigate the intricate tapestry of healthcare and human connection.
