Hey I am Anna, I am from Brentwood, South Carolina and I go to Clemson University and I am studying biology there. I chose the medical internship because I wanted to get more experience with doctors and like following around, and this was the perfect thing to do and it was in Greece so I chose it. My highlights from the trips were definitely seeing surgery, I love orthopedics and now I am thinking about going into it. My favorite parts about Greece were definitely the nightlife and the sights were really cool and I loved just getting around and exploring the city
