Medical Shadowing in Greece

Hi everyone, I am Sara Herz, I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I got my degrees in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. I am here in Athens, Greece on a scholarship from my college, which I am very grateful for. I picked Athens so that I would be able to meet a bunch of different people and the opportunity to intern in a hospital. Everyone here has done exactly what they were instructed to do, I really appreciate all of their help. I couldn’t have asked for a better internship and I would recommend this to anyone.

Hi, my name is Tashir Balard, I am from New Jersey and I came to this program because I basically wanted to see the coacher in a different country and see how they work in a hospital and see the technology and gain a different experience how they do it here, outside the US. Besides that, I am an undergraduate student in biochemistry and here in Athens is a very nice place, the people were really helpful. For example, I’ve had trouble with the metro and they have helped me very easily. They are very nice. During my time at the hospital I saw so many surgeries, I also saw a spinal fusion which is a very hard surgery- approximately nine hours- it was really good. I watched a brain tumor surgery. Today I am at the kidney analysis. The program itself is really nice. The directors are here for you when you need them. They are really one text away. Yes, great time.

Hi, I am Nikita and I come from the University of Newcastle, Australia. I did this program as part of my placement fee at the University. It has been amazing. I’ve seen so many different departments and surgeries. Greece itself is absolutely incredible; so many things to see and do. And the staff was also amazing.
