Hello, my name is Cameron Gibson from the United States. I go to Morgan State University. I originate from Kentucky. I’ve chosen this internship because I have been training here with a different program, but I wanted to experience Athens myself. I’ve had a really great time here, the people are awesome, the food is very good. My internship itself has been a lot of fun. I learnt a lot. I got to do a lot of amazing things with Dr Dimitri. I got to see some awesome surgeries; it’s just overall a great experience. My accommodation has been great, I really enjoyed my apartment. I think I couldn’t have picked a better program.
