Hello, my name is Audrey Narhi. I am a second year University student from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. I chose the medical internship because I really wanted to experience a healthcare system outside of the U.S. I really wanted to relate it back to the U.S. so in my future career I can really have a broader understanding of healthcare in general. My favorite part about the medical internship was definitely working with the University here. I really loved seeing facilitator in a different setting other than in the U.S. I am a nursing student so I took that very personally. The doctor was very nice to explain everything. Coordination wise I felt very comfortable and coming into this. When I got off the plain I was very nervous but I had a driver there waiting for me and then when I got to my very nice apartment I was happily greeted and I really felt at home quicker than I thought I would. Athens, Greece in general, is absolutely beautiful. The medical internship gives you enough time to really explore the city and outside the city- take day / weekend trips. So, there’s a very nice balance of doing your solo travelling, meeting people to travel with as well as gaining an experience for your career. So I would highly recommend. Thank you. |

The Academic or LinguistYou went abroad with specific academic goals in mind; the program credentials and rigor of your coursework abroad were very important to you. You had a great time abroad, but never lost sight of your studies and (if applicable) were diligent with your foreign language study. Good for you! |
