The Professional Medical Immersion Experience
In combination with Spanish classes, Yanapuma will arrange daily work at a local hospital, clinic or health center including duties appropriate to your level of experience. We offer a range of possible locations in Quito depending upon your needs and preferences. A $200 donation to the health center where you work is included in the price of the program, and students are encouraged to try to solicit donations from their home institution before coming to Ecuador to further help some of the poorer health centers.
Once you have finished your Spanish studies in Quito, gain additional experience through working full time in a hospital, clinic or health center outside Quito. Yanapuma will make all necessary arrangements for your work in one of these centers. The minimum time commitment is one month, unless you continue to work in the same center in Quito.
