WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
Over the course of three weeks, I had an internship at a local hospital in Perugia, Italy. I was able to shadow physicians across multiple departments and witness surgeries, accompany doctors on rounds, connect with patients, and learn about everyday tasks that doctors are faced with.
HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I went to small, local cafes every morning and really made connections with the locals working there. At some point during my program, the workers began to recognize me and knew my name, so I started to speak to them in Italian each morning by asking a different question. This was a great way for me to practice my Italian, immerse myself in the culture, and form a deeper, more meaningful connection with them.
