Our Mission & Vision

Students participate in hands-on learning experiences through multi-simulation exercises.

– The program incorporates mentorship in five domains: research skills, clinical knowledge, professional development, technological literacy, and technical skills.

– Students can gain clinical hours in Greece and shadow well-esteemed physicians in top University Hospitals.

– The program also provides students with a chance to explore the rich culture that Greece has to offer.

– Getting into medical school is highly competitive and requires a passion for science.
– Consider what you want to gain from your pre-med or pre-nursing clinical experience.
– There are various paths you can take, such as becoming an emergency medical technician, nurse’s aide, or ER tech.
– Clinical experience in a clean and sterile environment can provide a good idea of what Western medicine is all about.
– Shadowing a doctor treating a patient with complex conditions can be a valuable learning experience.
– Learning from doctors practicing in basic hospital facilities can also be incredibly informative.
