Javier came to Greece to explore a future career in dentistry and gain insight into the profession through a dental shadowing experience abroad.
Over two weeks, he observed life inside a dental practice, learned more about the field he hopes to pursue, and gained a clearer understanding of what a career in dentistry looks like in a real clinical environment.
But the experience went beyond the clinic. As a solo traveller, Javier quickly settled into life in Athens, discovering a new culture, meeting new people, and experiencing a city that felt welcoming from day one.

International In-Person Internships & Study Abroad
Anne, a final-year medical student at Des Moines University, chose Greece for a medical shadowing experience driven by her passion for international medicine and her goal of becoming a culturally competent physician.
During her time in Thessaloniki, she observed a wide range of clinical settings, from obstetrics and gynecology to pediatrics, general medicine, and emergency care. Experiencing different healthcare environments and patient populations gave her a broader perspective on medicine beyond what can be learned from textbooks alone.
Beyond the hospital, Anne embraced life in Greece, from daily walks along the waterfront to exploring the culture, food, and surrounding regions. For her, this experience was about more than medicine. It was about personal growth, cultural understanding, and seeing healthcare through a global lens.

Abby chose a veterinary shadowing experience abroad to gain real clinical exposure beyond the classroom and ended up learning far more than she expected.
From observing emergency care, trauma cases, and veterinary procedures, to learning about patient care and treatment approaches in real clinical environments, every day brought something new.
But what made the experience unforgettable wasn’t only the clinic.
It was the people, the culture, the beaches, the bakeries, the late walks through the city, and the feeling of being welcomed even thousands of miles away from home.
According to Abby?
She’d come back “in a heartbeat.”
