Brittney N Hamersky, Summer 2017 Participant
There is not a whole lot of communication with the Atlantis Project Staff before the program starts, so ask a lot of questions when you get the chance. Also do not be shy when you start at the hospital. The experience is better the more you put into it.

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.

Summer 2017 Participant
I found the doctors advice and notes most rewarding for my future and for my life currently. They were very helpful and you could feel that the doctors wanted you to learn and grow.
