A Must-Do Program for Any Pre-Health Student!
February 18, 2025by: Jayson T - CanadaProgram: SUMMER CLINICAL PROGRAMS (PRE-MED / UNIVERSITY / MED STUD)
Philotimo Med Abroad offers the perfect balance of medical learning and cultural experiences. I chose my rotations and shadowed doctors in anesthesiology, radiology, and gastroenterology. The highlight? Watching a live robotic-assisted surgery! Plus, we traveled to Athens, visited ancient temples, and enjoyed authentic Greek cuisine. Stavros was always checking in, making sure we were comfortable and learning as much as possible!
Thank you so much! We wish you all the best and hope to see you in your white coats in the near future. From Philotimo Team
Unparalleled Surgical Experience for Med Students
February 18, 2025by: Sophie M - CanadaProgram: SUMMER CLINICAL PROGRAMS (PRE-MED / UNIVERSITY / MED STUD)
I was amazed by how much surgical exposure I got during my Philotimo Med Abroad experience. I saw an open-heart surgery, an orthopedic knee replacement, and even robotic-assisted general surgeries! The program is in English, and the doctors were so welcoming. Outside the hospital, we explored Greek islands, ancient ruins, and the best cafes. Stavros made sure everything was smooth and stress-free!
Thank you so much! We wish you all the best and hope to see you in your white coats in the near future. From Philotimo Team
Medicine, Travel & Friendships for a Lifetime
February 18, 2025by: Lena Liam - United StatesProgram: SUMMER CLINICAL PROGRAMS (PRE-MED / UNIVERSITY / MED STUD)
Philotimo Med Abroad is truly the best medical shadowing program in Greece! From day one, I was immersed in real hospital settings, observing everything from colonoscopies to trauma surgeries. The robotic-assisted surgeries were next level, showing me the future of medicine. But what made this experience unforgettable were the people—Stavros, the doctors, and my fellow students. We bonded over Greek coffee, late-night gyro runs, and weekend adventures!
Thank you so much! We wish you all the best and hope to see you in your white coats in the near future. From Philotimo Team
