What areas of healthcare will I be able to observe at the hospital?


Every city offers different experiences. In Rome for example, at the clinics and University Hospitals associated with the Program, you will have the option to shadow a number of areas of healthcare, including but not limited to:

 

Orthopaedics
Cardiology
Abdominal surgery
Hepatology
Dermatology
Endocrinology
Obstetrics and gynaecology
Ear, nose and throat
Oncology
Paediatrics
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Anesthesiology
Emergency medicine

 

Some students will be able to extend the experience to other areas such as Biomedical engineering and human nutrition or to shadow researchers.

If you have an interest in a particular area of medicine, inform your on-site coordinator ahead of arrival and we will do our best to accommodate your request, if possible.

 

Remember that the hospital is focused on the health of its patients first and foremost, therefore it may happen that an area becomes unavailable to students. Don’t feel bad about it, there’s still so much to learn from the other rotations!
