Hello, my name is Logan, I am from Oklahoma, I go to Oklahoma State University and I study biology premed. I wanted to do this internship so I can build my resume and get a more hands- on experience within the medical community. The best part of the internship for me was going to the hospital and see all the surgeries. It was very interesting to actually see and kind of get-to-do a hands on experience with that. It’s just something that I would never get to do in the US, as I have to guess. The actual program was run very well, I had a really nice apartment, the metro is very easy to use and the hospital staff was great. Athens in general is such an amazing city, it’s so beautiful, the history and the culture is so rich. I really loved to see the Acropolis and it was all very nice. It was a great experience. |
