Medicine Study Abroad Programs in Greece

As a pre-dental student, my two weeks in Larisa were a once in a lifetime experience. I accumulated over 50 hours of shadowing hours, oversaw multiple different procedures and even was able to assist with a few. The dentist I shadowed was absolutely amazing and Stavros is quite a character and a joy to work with and talk to. He made the whole process smooth from my acceptance into the program, to transportation to and from the airport, and my living arrangements. The others in the program with me were great and we became good friends. The city of Larisa is absolutely spectacular and gave me a very authentic Greek experience! The locals were all so friendly and I rarely struggled with a language barrier and met so many different types of people that I’m still connected with. Overall my experience was something I will remember and talk about for the rest of my life and I couldn’t recommend this experience more to anyone who is interested in traveling and a career in medicine of any kind!

Hello, my name is Cheyenne Dabel, I’ve been in this program at the Metropolitan General and I am from the United States, Utah area. I wanted to come to shadow here because I plan to apply to medical school in the April/May season that’s coming up and what’s a better place to come to Greece to shadow. Some highlights from my experience here is a lot of different surgeries. I saw plastic surgeries, general surgery, and cardiac surgery. So, you get to have a bit of everything. Every day I would see something different. The coordination with this program was very good. Every need I had was answered and taken care of right away. Greece was the best place to be and Athens is a very busy place but you get used to it fast and you get to walk fast as well. So, I had a lovely time.
