Atlantis Fellowship in Italy

Donation protected
Atlantis is a pre-med Fellowship abroad program that connects pre-health students with doctors in hospitals across the world. It is designed to help students like me understand their place in the medical field and get first-hand experience shadowing physicians. As you may know, getting serious shadowing experience in the States is both extremely competitive and rigorously regulated. Yet, pre-med students are all but required to have shadowing experiences, along with unique extracurricular pursuits, to get accepted into medical school. An Atlantis Fellowship satisfies both needs. Through this Fellowship, I will get the opportunity to: shadow international physicians, rotate weekly through various specialties, shadow for 20 hours per week, go on group excursions to experience my host country’s culture, connect with other pre-med students around the world, grow personally through this international experience, and volunteer to help tutor English to hospital staff. I will be traveling to Rome, Italy for three weeks in May, and I am so excited to see healthcare from this new cultural perspective! The total cost for the Fellowship is $4,000, but I am aiming to raise $5,000 to afford flights, additional food, and any extra expenses. This is where I need your help — if you are willing and able to partner with me in my medical pursuits, I would greatly appreciate a monetary contribution of any amount. No gift is too small, so whether you give $10, $25, $50, $100, or $500, I would appreciate any support.
