“During my internship at Unicamp in Brazil, I had an incredible experience that I will never forget. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel at home in a new environment. The hospital staff were always ready to help and teach, which made my time there extremely enriching. I made many friends along the way, who made the experience even more enjoyable.

It was wonderful that the other students took the time to show us around Campinas outside of work hours, allowing us to explore the city together. I was fortunate to travel to some of Brazil’s beautiful places, experiencing its stunning scenery and rich culture. This internship has given me unforgettable memories, and I am truly grateful for every moment spent at Unicamp and in this wonderful country”, declared Emma.
