Spanish-Medical Course Structure

The program we have developed for medical professionals combines the regular Spanish immersion program with medical-specific Spanish and cultural training.  Morning group classes never have more than six students, with experienced and college-educated Spanish teachers.  After your morning classes, you will find yourself engaged in a wide variety of medical-oriented activities in the afternoon. 

I shadowed two doctors, both of whom were quite willing to explain everything they were doing.    They were very approachable and informative.  I enjoyed learning from them.  - Abilash Gopal, Medical Student - Tufts University The staff was helpful, friendly, and welcoming.  I felt at home the moment I stepped in the doors of the school.  The medical program allowed me to see medicine/nutrition in a whole new way.  - Christina Diloreto - University of Texas Southwestern

Clinical Shadowing:  The main portion of the medical package is clinical shadowing in either a hospital or health clinic.  You can observe the similarities and differences between these clinics and those in the US.  Many students also choose supplemental private Spanish lessons, in addition to the standard group course, to focus on particular needs or on "Medical Spanish" (such as role-playing).

In addition to the special program, students are encouraged to participate in the many Spanish Immersion activities, such as salsa lessons, weekend trips, etc.
