Intern Fellow | Atlantis Shadowing Abroad Program

During my internship in Lisbon, Portugal, I had the opportunity to shadow physicians across orthopedic surgery, general surgery, and anesthesiology, gaining a firsthand look at medicine in a global context. Observing procedures in the operating room allowed me to see the precision, teamwork, and decision-making that define surgical care while also appreciating the human side of medicine as physicians communicated with patients and families despite language and cultural barriers.
