Hi, I am Brieanne from Canada and I just finished a three week dental internship at the Yoda O.D.C. Clinic in Athens, Greece. I previously graduated with two undergraduate bachelor degrees, one in chemistry and one in my science. My University is Memorial University in Ontario. I am extremely glad that I did decide to do this internship. I did it to get a chance to study abroad and experience the day to day of a dentist before I begin to enter school. This has been an amazing experience; from the beginning the coordinators have been extremely helpful, even before my arrival. Every information was provided even before me asking and that had made me feel comfortable and safe. The nurses and doctors here at Yoda were very helpful from the beginning. Thy felt more than happy to answer to any questions that I had. It was especially interesting to watch the various procedures that I saw, because my dentist was actually a surgeon specialist. During this internship in Greece was just a bonus that the clinic is situated downtown, so I had the chance to explore the city. Do various tourist activities and then even get the chance to see some Greek islands. So, if there’s anyone considering of doing this internship with Cerca Abroad, they offer a very wide range of things. I recommend it. |

The Nearly Native or Trail BlazerCraving the most authentic experience possible, perhaps you lived with a host family or really got in good with the locals. You may have felt confined by your program requirements and group excursions. Instead, you'd have preferred to plan your own trips, even skipping class to conduct your own 'field work.' |
