Medical Spanish classes with practicum in Quito!
The Professional Medical Spanish course leads students through the related vocabulary and terminology (basic to advanced), with specially designed readings and interactive materials in different specialty areas (ophthalmology, gyneacology, endocrinology, etc), and a wide range of general topics.
Daily one-to-one classes are personalized to your particular needs, and are split between normal Spanish at intermediate or advanced level and specifically medical Spanish, using a wide range of printed, electronic and interactive media (see right).
"I really appreciated the depth of the materials and the course in general. My teacher was very knowledgeable and competent with the medical materials and really worked me hard! . . .Combining the classes with a practicum gave me a good opportunity to practice what I was learning in the classes."
The Professional Medical Spanish program is offered in three options:
-

We offer a range of possible locations in Quito or Cuenca 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.
