Hi, my name is Jackob, I am from California and I go to school at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. I came to Athens to do an internship at Metropolitan General Hospital and I got to view a patient clinic for PT and also view surgeries. In Athens, I did a lot of traveling around the city and it was really easy to get around thanks to the help of the program, by showing us the basics of travel and also giving us a place to stay. |
