Medical Shadowing in Greece

Hi, I am Laura, I am from Canada and I chose this internship because I am interested in medicine and I really enjoyed it so far. There’s been a lot of shadowing through this experience, I’ve seen certain operations, I’ve visited some patients and everyone has been really nice to me. The coordination was well done. The culture was amazing.

Hi, my name is Britney Black, I am a master’s student at Montclair State University, studying cancer biology. I chose to shadow an intern at the Metropolitan General at Athens in Greece, because I wanted to learn about medicine in different cultures and through a different perspective of how treatment is across the world. During my time here I was able to watch a brain tumor being taken out. I was very pleased with the hospitality of the Greeks here. They allowed me to understand from a very personal way that I would never have had the experience in the US. So it was very good for that. I have spent a lot of my time in Athens in Cafes and I loved that because back home I would have to drive like fifty minutes to get to Starbucks. I am really happy on how everything is so close, I got to see the Acropolis. The program coordinators were really nice. When I needed them for anything they would always be there.

Hi everyone, I am Sara Herz, I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I got my degrees in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. I am here in Athens, Greece on a scholarship from my college, which I am very grateful for. I picked Athens so that I would be able to meet a bunch of different people and the opportunity to intern in a hospital. Everyone here has done exactly what they were instructed to do, I really appreciate all of their help. I couldn’t have asked for a better internship and I would recommend this to anyone.
