Study Abroad with Atlantis
"I gained hundreds of hours of shadowing experiences and made friendships with students who I still keep in contact with. This program was probably the best decision I made as an undergrad - I made so many memories and grew so much as a person."
Seoyoon K Harvard University
"I learned that I did not want to be a doctor any more and wanted to go into the business side which is what I wanted the program to do in the first place. It was ABSOLUTELY worthwhile!"

"I attended an Atlantis program in Valladolid, Spain in July of 2019! I absolutely loved the program because I got to travel, meet new people, watch surgeries and consultations, explore multiple cities of Spain and experience the culture, get shadowing hours (which is required by a lot of the grad schools I’m applying to), and so..."

Michelina A Chatham University
"I learned what it is like to be a physician every day, I learned which specialties I find interesting and which ones I don't.
