Summer 2017 Participant
I learned that traveling abroad is the perfect time for self-reflection and the betterment of your own mental health. I learned that studying abroad is the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone and learn more than you could ever imagine about the world, its cultures, its people, and its languages. Madrid is such an international city, flooded with people from all around the world. I loved seeing the diversity of its locals and its tourists. I was encouraged to try so many new things and experiences so many new ways of life while abroad that I will never forget. I will always cherish my experience.

Brittney N Hamersky, Summer 2017 Participant
The most rewarding part was seeing how much each of us grew throughout the program and how comfortable we became at the hospital. There were a few nurses and doctors who really took extra time out of their schedules to teach us. Because of them I realized this was the career path for me and there is nothing more rewarding than knowing you made the right decision.

Summer 2017 Participant
The shadowing aspect of the program was definitely the most rewarding part for me. I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge about different medical issues and diseases from shadowing in the hospital. I really enjoyed learning how to interact with the doctors, and I feel I got a glimpse of what working in a hospital is actually like.
