Shadowing Surgeons in the Birthplace of Medicine
February 18, 2025by: Ryan Castello - ItalyProgram: Clinical Internship for Pre/Medical StudentsAs a medical student, shadowing cardiac surgeons and gastroenterologists in Greece was incredible. The hospitals in Larissa are world-class, and I got to see minimally invasive robotic procedures up close. The best part? Everything was in English, and the doctors took time to explain cases. Beyond the hospital, we had the best cultural experiences—Greek food, breathtaking landscapes, and weekend getaways. Big shoutout to Stavros for organizing such a phenomenal program!
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
Amazing Surgical Rotations & Robotic Surgery!
February 18, 2025by: Elena Valtazar - United KingdomProgram: Clinical Internship for Pre/Medical StudentsI couldn’t believe how many different surgeries I got to observe during my time at Philotimo Med! From a gallbladder removal to an orthopedic knee replacement, every day was exciting. The highlight? Seeing a da Vinci robotic surgery system in action! This experience strengthened my dream of becoming a surgeon. Plus, we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping, amazing food, and weekend excursions. Thank you, Stavros, for always being there for us!
A Life-Changing Experience in Greece!
February 18, 2025by: Sarah Lopez - CanadaProgram: Clinical Internship for Pre/Medical StudentsPhilotimo Med Abroad is hands-down the best medical program in Greece for pre-med students! Everything was in English, and I got to choose my rotations, which included cardiology, anesthesiology, and general surgery. Watching a robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedure was mind-blowing! The cultural experiences were also amazing—weekend excursions, Greek cafes, and island trips made it unforgettable. Stavros is such an incredible leader, always making sure we have the best experience.
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
