Internship Details
As an intern, you’ll work closely with experienced medical professionals, such as doctors, surgeons and nurses, to gain genuine understanding of healthcare in action. Internships are fantastic learning environments to gain experience from trained medical staff as they go about their daily duties, across various departments or specialist areas.
Many medical professionals within Greece have studied and/or spent time working abroad (such as in the US or UK). Professionals have excellent English proficiency and interns are unlikely to experience language barriers with their supervisors or within medical teams.
As these internships are educational in nature, interns should not expect to work “hands on” with patients. Your supervisor will always take your current level of experience and abilities into consideration, along with your areas of medical interest, when engaging with you to support and customize your internship experience.
Medical interns will have a rotation roster to diversify the experience and gain understanding across numerous departments. These can include:
- Anesthesiology
- Cardiology
- Dialysis
- Emergency Room
- Endocrinology
- Gastroenterology
- General Surgery
- Hematopathology
- Intensive Care Unit
- Nuclear Medicine
- Orofacial Surgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Oncology
- Pathologic Anatomy
- Pediatrics
- Pneumology
- Radiology
Interns are able to request an internship schedule that includes particular departments of interest (e.g. orthopedic surgery, cardiology, hematology, etc.). Although requests are always subject to availability, your supervisors within the medical team will do their utmost to ensure your experience is related closely to your studies and goals as a future professional.
