“ In the Radiology department (where I spent most of my time) I learned more about the brain and its parts than I could ever have imagined. […] Overall, I was given much more than a resume builder. I made friends for life and bonded with a culture other than my own. This was an experience I will always be thankful for and will never forget.” — Victoria Maldonado-Colombani, IES Rome Internship
