The Most Supportive Program Director – Stavros!
February 18, 2025by: Emily Copllant - United StatesProgram: Medical Shadowing Greece: Pre-Med / Pharma / Dental/ NursingWhat makes Philotimo Med special? Stavros! He truly cares about each student, always making sure we are getting the most out of our experience. I shadowed doctors in cardiology, general surgery, and emergency medicine and even observed a laparoscopic gallbladder removal! Everything was in English, and the excursions were just as exciting as the clinical experience. 10/10 recommend!
Philotimo Med the perfect mix of learning and fun
September 19, 2024by: Lucas Brown - United StatesProgram: Medical Shadowing Greece: Pre-Med / Pharma / Dental/ NursingMy 4-week internship with Philotimo Med was a perfect mix of learning and fun. I rotated through the Dermatology and Oncology departments and got to observe real-life patient care. The excursions to Mount Olympus, Meteora, and the beach were the highlights of our weekends. Stavros was incredible—his advice and jokes kept the atmosphere light and supportive. The group meals were always delicious

I rotated through the Orthopedics and Emergency Medicine departments, observing fascinating surgeries. On weekends, we explored Meteora and Mount Olympus, and even had beach days!
