Learn Medical Spanish in Latin America and Intern or Volunteer at a local hospital

For many medical professionals, learning Spanish and particularly medical Spanish is becoming increasingly beneficial. With an increasing number of patients speaking only Spanish, being able to communicate with them is essential. And learning Spanish and experiencing new cultures and medical environments!) in Latin America is extremely interesting and (at many times) fun!

What better way of spending time, than learning a new important skill, visiting a exotic location, experiencing very different medical environments, as you help out in a very worth while way.

With Medical professionals being by nature very busy, the major draw back is having the time to find out where to learn, and how to make the most of your time.  We facilitate you learning medical Spanish as you volunteer or intern. We have placed over 200 medical professionals or medical students in the last 3 years.

The courses are designed for doctors, registered nurses, medical students and other professionals who work in the medical sector. There is a combination of learning medical Spanish from a teaching professional, with the practical element of volunteering or internships in hospitals, clinics or other medical facilities.

As well as learning much needed tools for you to deal with Spanish speaking clients, you will be giving something very important to these communities. Many of the clinics deal with poor or underprivileged persons. Your help is very much appreciated, and in many cases much needed.

Each program is different, which caters for the differing needs of medical professionals. However the foundation of each course is the importance of combining and expanding your everyday Spanish expertise, specialized medical terminology taught by a medical professional, and the element of practical application. The latter can include hospital/clinic visits, observing the hospital rounds with a resident, volunteering in an extremely worthwhile medical organisation, or even attending specific medical lectures.

There is a full range of options. This includes poor clinics with no government support, small rural hospitals where you will be elbows deep on the first day, large public hospitals, to a prestigious university with first class facilities and teaching hospital. Inform us of what type of experience you prefer, and we will suggest the best options for you
