Shadowing in Portugal & Spain
Founder-Led, Personally
"I studied in Coimbra, and I built this program the way I would want it for my own children: small, safe and serious about learning.
I interview every applicant, I meet every student when they arrive, and my phone is on for the whole program."
Paulo Vasconcelos, Founder

A Different Kind of Shadowing Program
Four short key facts:
-
4–10 students per program
-
Hours of documented shadowing
-
6 partner hospitals in Portugal
-
Oncology, surgery, critical care and hospital management
Most shadowing programs abroad are built for volume. Ours is built for depth. We place a small number of students each summer, match each one with physicians who fit their interests, and stay with them from airport pickup to final debrief. The result is fewer students in each department, more time with each doctor, and an experience you can describe with real detail in your medical school interviews.
Why Students Choose Eurointernships
Truly small groups. Each program takes between 4 and 10 students. You will never be one of a crowd at the back of the operating room.
An oncology track few programs offer. Spend four weeks at a public cancer hospital, an institution with roots in Portugal's first cancer research institute, founded in 1923.
Beyond the bedside: hospital management. See how a hospital is run, not only how patients are treated. Curated meetings with administrators and department heads cover strategy, operations and policy, ideal for future physicians, nurses and healthcare administrators.
