Affordable Medical Internships in Greece | Intern Abroad HQ

One thing that I found interesting in this internship is how warm and supportive the team is. Right from the beginning, despite the language barrier, the members made me feel a part of the team and they were always ready to answer any question and involve me in different processes within the patient treatment process. Finally, at the end of the internship, I felt as a valuable member of the team. From a professional point of view, this internship helped me develop my clinical skills in terms of observing and participating in the treatment of patients suffering from musculoskeletal injuries and sports injuries. Also, this internship gave me an opportunity to practice rehabilitation technologies, including Diamagnetic Pump Therapy, Compex, TENS, pressure boots, hot and cold compression boots. Additionally, during this period, I developed my clinical reasoning through discussion of the patient assessment with the help of my supervisor and prescribing rehabilitation exercises taking into account the right progression, regression, repetition, and sets. From a personal point of view, it helped me become more confident, adaptable and culturally competent. Working and living in another country, I learned how to overcome language barriers, effectively communicate with people of different nationalities and adjust to a new healthcare setting. Finally, the internship impacted my career plans by changing my perception of them. Initially, I did not think of becoming a sports physiotherapist at all and certainly did not expect to work abroad after I finish my studies. However, this experience made me interested in exploring opportunities related to sports physiotherapy and motivated me to think about the option of working in Europe after finishing my education.

I really enjoyed being able to explore and learn more about the healthcare system in a foreign country, it was a very eye-opening experience. The opportunity to shadow doctors and nurses was an amazing experience and taught me that compassion is seen in healthcare in every country. I felt very supported, and I appreciate the responsiveness when I had questions.

The most enjoyable part of this experience was going to work. I genuinely enjoyed what I did and the people I worked with, and I hope to cross paths with them again. I improved my communication skills, hand skills, dentist IQ, and so much more.
