Hi, I am Joliana, I am twenty one, from London. I did this internship in physiotherapy because it’s what I want to do at my master’s and I wanted to gain experience with travelling and that would be a good combination. I saw some surgeries which was pretty cool because of the coordination in the hospital here. So you get to know a kind of different aspects of how everything works, including doctors, surgeries etc. In terms of coordination it’s kind of flexible which is pretty cool because you want to travel and then have like to choose when to come in, do whatever you want to. Everything is really very flexible which was good. In terms of Athens it’s pretty cool, you’ve got the beach here, the restaurants, and then you have the weekends where you have a chance to visit an island and come back. |
