“This program was truly an amazing experience filled with meeting new people, complete immersion in the French culture, getting first-hand experience of the French medical system, and classes that expanded my knowledge.”
“Since it is so hard to study abroad for a semester with the intent of being Pre-Med, this is a great opportunity to not only travel abroad, but also to get experience with a culturally different way of medicine. This trip can also work for those interested in becoming a physician’s assistant. This is what I hope to do, and I can tell this experience will definitely help me in applying for graduate schools.”
“This is a unique, very intense program that starts off running right away. I found the doctors at the hospitals and health centers extremely helpful and willing to share their time. I feel like I’ve gained a lot academically, career-wise, and personally through the program.”
“The experience in the hospital was especially eye-opening. It was interesting to compare the similarities and striking differences. This has definitely been a worthwhile experience, and I am leaving it with a renewed vigor for what awaits me as a physician in an increasingly international world.”
“I gained confidence in my independence – traveling and speaking in French. There are so many things you learn from actually being here that you can’t learn in a normal classroom. As a Pre-Med student, I learned the differences between the American and French medical systems. I have a whole new understanding of ‘socialized medicine.’“
“Personally, the great interactions I had with the other members of the group made the program an unforgettable experience. Culturally, I became acquainted with the way of life in the south of France.”
“Working in the operating room at the hospital gave me an opportunity to see surgeryclose-up and to discuss medical issues with the medical staff.”
“A great cultural and learning experience!”
