Rome is unlike anywhere else on earth. Walking to your placement past the Colosseum, grabbing a cornetto at a local bar, and spending evenings with your cohort at a piazza – it's the kind of city that gets under your skin fast. Italian medicine here is deeply human-centred, and the sheer scale of the hospital network means extraordinary clinical variety. The social scene is lively, the food is world-class, and our local team know every hidden corner worth exploring.
