Description

We believe that is extremely important not only to learn Medical Spanish in a Spanish-speaking environment but also to apply your Spanish in a very practical environment. This will both reinforce your learning, and also allow the real application of your new knowledge.

The school has two main options for its Medical Spanish options

A: Learn Medical Spanish combined with observing hospital rounds in Spanish
B: Learn Medical Spanish and use your Spanish by volunteering at pediatric Neurological Rehabilitation Centre.

Option A: Medical Spanish with Hospital

Spanish for Doctors: A 3-week Spanish Course (either on a one to one or a small class of 2 to 6 students) focused particularly on vocabulary for doctors. During the last week of classes, the students will participate in periodic rotations in the hospital "Rodríguez Zambrano" in Manta accompanied by a medical resident.

Option B; Medical Spanish and Volunteer at a Pediatric Neurological Rehabilitation Centre

Spanish for Doctors or Medical health professions. This is a one on one personalised course taking the basis of our medical Spanish course and applying it to you field as a healthcare professional. The courses are a minimum of 2 weeks, and a maximum of 12 weeks. Learn Medical Spanish in the morning and in the afternoon apply this as you volunteer at "RENEUP" a nationally recognised institution that is dedicated to the prevention and alleviation of infantile development disorders as well as neurological cognitive and sensory disorders.

Highlights

Our Ecuador Medical Spanish school is located in the beautiful seaside city of Manta, a 30 minutes flight from Quito. It is famous for its beautiful beaches, and tropical and fresh seafood

The school has been operating for almost 20 years, and has many National and international accreditations. Our Spanish Immersion Program is approved by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education and also has Bildungsurlaub recognitions for German student, and with a partner US College is able to ward US academic credits in Spanish etc. It is a small school typically averaging 20-30 students at any one time. Yet it occurs an impressive range of extra activities for its students. This ranges from Manto Activo (cultural activities each afternoon) surfing (Manta is one of the main surf destinations in South America), diving. Windsurfing, trips to Isla de Plata (a wildlife sanctuary similar to the Galapagos), Nearby in the province is the famous Isla de la Plata, which has flora and fauna similar to that found in the Galapagos Islands. On Isla de la Plata one finds such unique species as blue-footed boobies and frigate birds. One can also see whales there from June through September.

Ecuador is relatively small (about the size of the UK or Nevada). In a day you can me on the islands, the next the beach, then the snow capped Andes, and the following the Amazon! If you have time we also recommend the schools one-week travelling classroom. Here you travel with your Spanish teacher, and sample the huge cultural, wildlife and topographically variety that Ecuador has to offer.
