SHADOW ALL SPECIALTIES
With 20+ shadowing hours per week, side-by-side with physicians, you will learn more about your interests and yourself. Rotations within different areas will let you observe the work of surgeons and doctors in orthopedics, pediatrics, ob-gyn, dermatology, cardiology, neurosurgery, oncology, dentistry, and many more, all in compliance with AAMC guidelines.
DISCOVER ROME, MILAN, GENOVA AND ITALY
Work with doctors all day towards your dream to becoming a doctor. Then get off for and enjoy Italian cuisine with a view in Rome, Milan or Genova. Beautiful, central housing allows you to make the most of your time, enjoying walks on your own or with your new friends, tasting local delicacies and discovering Italian culture.
GAIN CONFIDENCE FOR YOUR GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICATION
During your early premed/college years is the perfect time to do programs that help you define your interest in medicine! This is a great time for students who think there may be a future for them in healthcare but aren’t quite sure! It gives you the chance to solidify your enjoyment of medicine and earn the hours you need, while allowing yourself flexibility in your normal schedule for research and a clinical job!
NO LANGUAGE BARRIERS!
Learn and participate with confidence! All our doctors are certified English-speakers, so you won't face any language barrier while shadowing with us. This is a unique opportunity within a country where English is not the first language.
