WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
Send an Email
Hot take, during my internship my favorite department that I shadowed in was probably the ICU. While I did have fun in all 3 departments I was in during my trip; ICU, surgery, and pnuemology, the ICU was probably the one I had the more fun at. The ICU felt like a good middle ground between being really fast pace and constantly doing something, to having the same things everyday.
HOW
DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
In way I really connected with the local community by taking public transportation everywhere. Every morning we would have to take a bus from our apartment to the hospital for our internship. I was always one of the first people ready in the morning, so I would get a cup of coffee and a pastry and then get on the bus to the hospital. I ended up meeting a lot of really cool people who live in Patras by doing that every morning.
