Texas to Greece: Best Decision Ever

April 03, 2025by: Carl Miller - United StatesProgram: Clinical Internship for Pre/Medical Students

I had no idea what to expect, but let me tell you, Greece is NEXT LEVEL. The people? So welcoming. The hospital? State-of-the-art. The surgeries? Absolutely insane. I got to shadow top-tier surgeons, and the hands-on experience was unmatched. Outside the hospital, Larissa was popping—the food, the nightlife, the views… I already miss it.

A Life-Changing Experience in Greece!

Philotimo Med Abroad is hands-down the best medical program in Greece for pre-med students! Everything was in English, and I got to choose my rotations, which included cardiology, anesthesiology, and general surgery. Watching a robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedure was mind-blowing! The cultural experiences were also amazing—weekend excursions, Greek cafes, and island trips made it unforgettable. Stavros is such an incredible leader, always making sure we have the best experience.

The Best Clinical Program for Future Doctors

If you're a med student looking for hands-on clinical exposure, Philotimo Med Abroad is THE program to join. I scrubbed in to observe an appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and even a C-section! The program is fully in English, and I got to work directly with experienced Greek doctors. The weekends were just as exciting, with trips to Meteora, Aegina, and stunning Greek beaches. Stavros made sure we were always learning, exploring, and having fun!
