The Medical Degree English Program of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) is pleased to announce its participation in “Medicine Across Borders,” a one-day, two-part educational webinar taking place on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
Organized through a collaboration between the Schools of Medicine of five Greek universities — the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the University of Thessaly, the University of Crete, and the University of Patras — and the Hellenic Medical Society of America, the webinar aims to strengthen educational connections between Greece and the United States.
The event brings together academic representatives and medical professionals to provide valuable information for prospective medical students interested in studying in Greece, as well as current students and graduates exploring opportunities for residency training in the United States.
