Cerca Trova

My name is Eniola and I am from Houston Texas and I go to college at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. I interned at IASIS in Greece and I choose this internship for many reasons. One reason was to get out of my comfort zone and immerse my self in Greece and to see how the psychological system is done here compared to the States and elsewhere. During my time here I have learned a lot, I learned different units, how they operate, for example the Fabric Republic and how they make cloths and distribute cloths for the community and also how they set up different sites for people to donate it, so its actually more of a community participating to help the community, which is very nice to see. I have really enjoyed my time here, I enjoyed the coordinators as they gave me a nice place to stay, which was very safe and they also gave me a map with tips which I was able to use to explore around, which helped my immersion because I was staying here for one month so having that really helped me get to it right out of the bat. Over all my experience in Athens Greece was amazing, the weather was nice, the people, the culture, the food was all just wonderful. I enjoyed my time here and I do plan on coming back here just here for the visits and just to go back to see all the sights that I wasn’t able to see.

Hi everybody, my name is Kjell, I am a student from Belgium, I am twenty two years old and I decided to go abroad with Cerca to visit this place- this one over here (Athens Medical Center Group)- in Athens. It’s been my pleasure to have been able to get a whole new experience with both my studies, the language and to go to run in this place. I’ve been here for about two weeks now and I have to say it has been very fun for me to experience, well, a whole new dimension of my studies. I got to see surgeries being done, patients while before and after the treatments and in this way it allowed me to grip or get a new view on everything I’ve been learning so far. I mean, it’s been very enjoyable.

Hi, I’m Ainsley, I am from Alberta Canada and I wanted to do a medical internship because I am really interested into going to medical school and the human body and just helping people in general. The organization is great, they take you everywhere you need to go and make sure you know exactly where you are supposed to go or supposed to be doing. Organizing the accommodation, all that was perfect and made you feel less lost coming into a different country. Athens is beautiful, it’s so clean, and everyone is so nice including the doctors. They want you to be involved and they talk to you and they are interested into where you’re from and who you are. It’s great.
