Hi, my name is Jahvani and I am a fourth year pre-med student. This has been the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. I chose this program just to gain some more exposure and try to understand a medical system outside and away from my own country. The opportunities I have been given here are so great. I’ve got to see incredible surgeries, meet some great people. Everybody here has been so nice, the coordination has been incredible whatever we need they are really a text away, so if you feel unsafe, don’t. It’s been super safe here. My favorite part about Greece has been the food and there’s also so much time to explore the area, so much to do. So, you’re in for a good time. I definitely recommend it. |
