I studied at Karolinska because I wanted to see firsthand how the Swedish healthcare system functions at such a top level year after year. I thought an exchange program would be a great way to get an in-depth look at Sweden's successful model of healthcare delivery and the medical professionals behind it. Overall, I was very impressed!
My home university participates in an exchange with Karolinska; the program is well established and the application process, exchange confirmation, and pre-trip information were all very simple and went smoothly. No vaccinations or additional information were required during the application process or upon my arrival.
