The Most Supportive Program Director – Stavros!

What 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!

My 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

The medical internship with Philotimo Med was unforgettable! 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! Stavros made the experience even better with his humor and helpful tips. The group meals were a great way to bond with everyone. I’d do it all over again!
