Internships in Larissa, Greece

An excellent shadowing experience with Dr. Stavros Siderakis. His clinical expertise and professional approach toward patients are truly inspiring. I gained invaluable insights into medical ethics and practice. Highly recommended for any student!

The 1-week program is NO JOKE—over 25+ hours of clinical experience, and I got to watch some next-level surgeries. The hospital was crazy advanced, and the staff was so helpful. And can we talk about the food? Greek cuisine is undefeated. Big shoutout to Stavros for making everything easy—this trip was stress-free and straight-up amazing.

I had no idea what to expect, but let me tell you, Greece is NEXT LEVEL. The people? So welcoming. The hospital? State-of-the-art. The surgeries? Absolutely insane. I got to shadow top-tier surgeons, and the hands-on experience was unmatched. Outside the hospital, Larissa was popping—the food, the nightlife, the views… I already miss it.

What makes Philotimo Med special? Stavros! He truly cares about each student, always making sure we are getting the most out of our experience. I shadowed doctors in cardiology, general surgery, and emergency medicine and even observed a laparoscopic gallbladder removal! Everything was in English, and the excursions were just as exciting as the clinical experience. 10/10 recommend!

Philotimo Med Abroad is hands-down the best medical program in Greece for pre-med students! Everything was in English, and I got to choose my rotations, which included cardiology, anesthesiology, and general surgery. Watching a robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedure was mind-blowing! The cultural experiences were also amazing—weekend excursions, Greek cafes, and island trips made it unforgettable. Stavros is such an incredible leader, always making sure we have the best experience.

As a medical student, shadowing cardiac surgeons and gastroenterologists in Greece was incredible. The hospitals in Larissa are world-class, and I got to see minimally invasive robotic procedures up close. The best part? Everything was in English, and the doctors took time to explain cases. Beyond the hospital, we had the best cultural experiences—Greek food, breathtaking landscapes, and weekend getaways. Big shoutout to Stavros for organizing such a phenomenal program!

I couldn’t believe how many different surgeries I got to observe during my time at Philotimo Med! From a gallbladder removal to an orthopedic knee replacement, every day was exciting. The highlight? Seeing a da Vinci robotic surgery system in action! This experience strengthened my dream of becoming a surgeon. Plus, we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping, amazing food, and weekend excursions. Thank you, Stavros, for always being there for us!

If you're a med student looking for hands-on clinical exposure, Philotimo Med Abroad is THE program to join. I scrubbed in to observe an appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and even a C-section! The program is fully in English, and I got to work directly with experienced Greek doctors. The weekends were just as exciting, with trips to Meteora, Aegina, and stunning Greek beaches. Stavros made sure we were always learning, exploring, and having fun!

The Acropolis tour was a highlight of the trip! This program gave me confidence in my career path, and I would do it all over again!

At 18, I was nervous about my 2-week internship in Larissa with Philotimo Med, but it turned out to be an incredible experience! I shadowed in the urology and General Surgery departments and learned more than I ever expected. The excursion to Mount Olympus was breathtaking. Stavros was always there with a piece of advice. The group meals were a highlight, and I made amazing friends!

I loved my 4-week internship with Philotimo Med! I rotated through the Neurology and Pediatrics departments, learning so much from the doctors. The excursions to Mount Olympus, Meteora, and the beach were perfect for unwinding. Stavros always kept things light with his jokes and practical advice. The group meals were fantastic and a wonderful part of the whole experience.
