Summer 2025 Participant
I learned that it is so important to come open-minded. Be willing to interact with the locals, to struggle to learn the language, and to try new things! Make the best out of this experience with what you have! I believe that I left with no regrets because I gave my 100% effort every day and tried things that I wouldn't usually have done, which is hard but so worth it.

Summer 2022 Participant
My favorite part of this program was that I was able to be in a hospital surrounded by doctors, nurses, residents, interns, and more importantly, patients. I was able to see different kinds of cases, once in a lifetime cases, special cases, and difficult cases. I was around doctors who wanted to teach me everything and show me things that I would possibly never see again.

Summer 2025 Participant
My favorite part was shadowing a wide variety of specialties at the hospital and interacting with physicians and residents! I truly enjoyed learning about healthcare in Italy and the viewpoints of both doctors and patients. Everyone in the hospital was very open-minded, and I was truly blessed to have witnessed so many fascinating surgeries and procedures.
