Dental Shadowing in Greece

Hi everyone, my name is Isabelle Joffe. I’ve currently just finished my last year at Adelphi University and I’m starting dental school in July. I decided to do his program to just get a better understanding of dentistry before I start my dental school journey. I’ve loved working with the doctor here. He was amazing and extremely educated in his craft. He showed me so many things I haven’t seen before. He even let me drill on a real tooth. He showed me how to prep a crown and do a routine and all that staff- it was so awesome. The Cerca Abroad staff was amazing. On Whatsapp, someone is always there. You can text them any second and they will respond as soon as possible. I also loved Athens, it’s so beautiful here, the people are amazing, the food is amazing, the metro system is really clean and accessible and I just loved my whole experience here. I would recommend it to anyone.

Hi, I’m Summer Traub and I am going to the University of Iowa. I did the dental internship here in Athens for three weeks. I got to work with an amazing dentist. He explained what he was doing as he was working with patients, which was very helpful to my learning. I got to see a variety of things from basic cleanings to extractions and I also got to observe the different techniques that the dentist got to use. Here in Athens I loved getting to make personal connections with the dentist and the patients who I got to see who had multiple cases through my time here. Outside of the internship I loved getting to explore a new culture and the city and the islands that I got to travel at the weekends. The city is amazing, there’s so much to do. It’s a very safe place. If you plan into interning abroad I definitely recommend going through Cerca. They have great accommodations even from the airport pickup to the apartment I was staying at and even to getting me used to the metro and the tram helping me to find my way to the clinic on the first day.
