A Day As A Shadowing Fellow | DoctorsinItaly Fellowship Program
• brunching with new friends by famous fountains before observing a cardiac cath
• befriending doctors and earning great letters of recommendation all before a dinner on the terrace
• taking a cooking class on traditional pizza-making while discussing the knee replacement you watched that day
• escaping to the city gardens with a lemon gelato after a great day learning how healthcare access impacts patient quality of care and how different countries vary in care delivery
• popping by a cafe for a small Italian espresso before putting on your white coat for the day to observe a baby being birthed
• chatting with medical student mentors about ways to improve your application essays over a plate of fresh garden veggies and a golden sunset
• walking through the colosseum and having a joyful debate on the role of which specialty has the most preventative care aspects
These are just a few we thought of…
