Sophia Astrid Sanchez, Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part of the program was being able to observe a hospital setting in a different country because I feel like that is a really unique experience that not a lot of people will get and it definitely gave me a better understanding of the healthcare system.

Summer 2019 Participant
I loved shadowing doctors in Spain. The Spanish doctors were so accepting and excited to teach us. Definitely a life-changing experience.

Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part of this program was having the incredible opportunity to be exposed to the medical field unlike I ever have before. This was my first exposure to the actual life of a physician, and not only was I exposed to one, I was exposed to at least 20 different doctors who all spoke a different language than me. I absolutely loved my hospital and how kind, accepting, and tolerant my doctors were. I loved traveling outside of Madrid to the smaller cities and experiencing the true culture of Spain. I loved immersing myself in a way of life much different than my own and seeing a side of the world I would have never gotten the chance to do without the KU Office of Study Abroad and the Benjamin A. Gilman National Scholarship Program.
