Mike's Internship Experience in Buenos Aires

My name is Michael. I came here from Colorado. I just finished college, and I'm about to start medical school. I came down here to get a little clinical experience in a system that's pretty different from the one in the US. Overall, I learned a lot, and I was able to do a lot. I definitely did not expect there to be so much going on and so much opportunity here, but I got my fill of great experiences, and I'm really happy I came. It does get cold here, so keep that in mind. I did not bring enough cold clothes, just thinking of South America, so definitely plan ahead for packing. The one thing they do really well here is food. There are a lot of empanadas, and I would recommend trying a different empanada place every day. And the coffee. I would go to a different cafe every day, because I'm a coffee drinker, and I thought that was better than going to just one place. Same thing with going out and going to restaurants. The one thing I liked a lot was how flexible it was. I chose how much responsibility I had in the internship I did at the hospital. On the other hand, all the internships, including my own, were self-led, so you kind of got out what you put in, which again allowed for a lot of flexibility, and I liked that. Have a great time.
