Spain Healthcare Internship

My experience as a Global Health Intern was fantastic! I learned so much in such a short amount of time and met so many great people. First off I’ll give you a little background on what we would do in general and then explain some of my personal experiences. So in Spain the general work schedule is start work around eight in the morning and then work until about two or three in the afternoon and then go have a big lunch, the largest meal of the day. In the hospital units no one went back after lunch, we only worked till at latest four but usually around three. In other ocupations or maybe other units they would go back around five for about two more hours. So every morning I would wake up at seven and get ready then I’d take the tram to the hospital where I’d meet with the doctors, in two of the units we would have meetings first thing to go over the plan with everyone in the unit then we would disperse and see patients and do our individual responsibilities

And we went up to the top of the tower where you can see all of Sevilla and that was awesome! Then we went and had lunch at this new York pizza and hot dog place it was pretty good and cheap so that was cool! Then we went back to the apartment and took a little nap then we went to the plaza de toros and walked along the river and
