Program Overview

Gain practical medical experience in Mexico this summer-

Now, more than ever, the ability to interact with the Spanish-speaking population is critical in the field of medicine.

Based in Cuernavaca, the capital of the Mexican state of Morelos in central Mexico, this exciting eight-week summer program offers coursework in Spanish for Healthcare Professionals, as well as an internship component where you will shadow physicians in various specialties, participate in health seminars, take part in practicum visits, and more.
