A chance to research my routes in a beautiful city

by: Eleni Speros - United StatesProgram: Medical Shadowing in Greece

Hello, my name is Eleni, I am in a medical internship here at the Metropolitan General Hospital in Athens Greece. I am a premed major in Boston Massachusetts and I’m here doing this internship in order to build my resume for medical school and to get an interesting experience here in Greece, also because my roots are here in Greece- I am heritagely Greek. So I chose Greece to come here and experience a different side of medicine. The company here did a great job of orientating us to come to the hospital and meet other students from the U.S. and other parts of the world, as well as meeting the people here inside, the hospital and other people who work there, like in the O.R. and other specialty areas. And then, here in Greece, I’ve been a few times before but throuout my internship I’ve been able to enjoy different islands such as Corfu and Mykonos and Paros which were lovely areas in the country, and as well as other parts of Athens in the inner city such as Monastiraki and Plaka.

A really nice program with a lot of fun

Hi, my name is Mallory, I am from South Florida. I wanted to do a medical internship as I wanted to gain some more hands on experience and also see how things operate outside the U.S., in other countries. The coordination to the program was really good, the people were very nice, it was safe and nicely accommodated. Our program was really nice. It was nice to have roommates; it was a lot of fun. A highlight from my medical internship was definitely seeing a face- lift, I’m really into plastics, and we were able to decide kind of where we wanted to go. I really liked Athens, it’s overwhelming at first but you kind of get the hang of it. Makes you feel very independent. My favorite thing here was going to Santorini; it was a incredibly enjoyable.

The program was everything that we needed and more

Hi, my name is Samarah Alam and I am from Virginia. I am a student at the University of Central Florida. I wanted to do this medical internship because I love the medical field and I really want to get like into the medical field as medical life is and really get to see all the different specialties and the different doctors and surgeons and all that. I think a major highlight of this internship is getting to know on a personal level the relationships with the surgeons and getting discover all the surgeries and really getting the feel of what it’s like to be a doctor or a surgeon. The program was everything that we needed and more. They took us up from the airport, they were always in contact with us and helped us with everything out so smooth. I think my favorite part about Greece is just, everywhere you go is something even more beautiful than the last thing you saw. It’s amazing. Everybody is nice here. The food is delicious and there are so many islands that are so easy to get to and they’re even prettier.
