Summer 2026 Participant
The most rewarding aspect of the program was witnessing doctors help save patients in varieties of ways. This included surgeries to help better their everyday lives, treatment plans, and different procedures.

Summer 2026 Participant
The most rewarding part of this program was the expansion of my healthcare competency. I loved getting to see different departments that I wouldn't have picked on my own; my favorite department was ENT which I would have never thought beforehand! Gaining 120 clinical hours was rewarding, but I truly cherish each one of those hours as something to look back on in my career decisions.

Summer 2026 Participant
My favorite part about this program was the combination of the actual study and the abroad part. Being able to shadow a hospital 4 times a week for 5 hours a day gained me the knowledge and skills I was hoping to obtain when choosing to study abroad; however, I was also able to enjoy the abroad part and visit different cities and even countries when not in the hospital setting. It was overall an amazing balance between the two that really made this experience more enjoyable.
