Student Feedback

Over the years we have helped thousands of students reach a high level of Spanish fluency, including many who never thought they could.

"My favorite part was spending time in the infectious diseases ward, where I got to see many interesting cases that aren’t commonly seen in the United States such as tuberculosis, dengue fever and even parasitic infections."

- Tess H. (University of Nebraska)

"It gives students a prospective and more compassion and sympathies for different situations out there and helps them become a more caring compassionate individual and health care professional."

- Joseph B. (University of Texas)

"The Spanish and Medical program was really an amazing experience. I didn’t have any Spanish experience at all before I arrived and by the time I left, I could understand and speak a significant amount"

- Lisa W. (Northwestern University)

Spanish & Medicine is not for everybody.
