Internships in Greece

Athens is an amazing city — there was always something to do. The doctors I interned alongside were kind, patient, and always willing to explain things. If you let them know your interests, they make sure to involve you in relevant cases, which I really appreciated. My local team was also fantastic. Their coordination was spot-on, and they were super communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. Honestly, I didn't want to leave — I’d love to come back again. It’s been such a rewarding experience.

My placement was at a day center, which was fascinating because we don’t really have anything quite like it back home. It’s been eye-opening to see how psychiatric care is approached in a different country. Working with group therapy, helping plan activities, and building one-on-one connections with patients has been incredibly rewarding — something I never imagined I’d get to experience. I’ve also loved being in Athens. There’s so much to do outside of the internship, and the people are so kind and generous. The coordination from my local team was amazing. This experience has truly exceeded my expectations.
