Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part of this program was being able to shadow general surgery in the hospital. I got to see many different types of surgeries and was able to ask lots of questions. I am so grateful I had such an educational experience.

Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part of the program was watching surgeries and having the doctors explain what they were doing. The week in cardiology was great too and I learned so much about the different effects cancer can have in the body.

Kyle Thanh Ta, Summer 2017 Participant
Going out and exploring on our own, learning how to survive in another country, and all of the different events that Madrid had to offer were the most rewarding experiences. Working within a high-tech hospital and being able to witness biomedical engineering feats was also amazing.
