Program Reviews:
Olivia L Federico, Summer 2019 Participant
The hospital shadowing was the most rewarding aspect of this experience. Not only was I able to earn 80+ hours of shadowing, I genuinely felt welcomed as the doctors were extremely inviting and eager to teach me about the body and medicine. Being a pre-med student, this program helped me discover what areas of medicine I found interesting and could see myself possibly following as a future career.
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.

I learned a lot of Spanish and a lot about the day-to-day life of a physician. We were able to observe lots of different procedures from daily check-ups to birth to surgeries.
