Global Health in Costa Rica

CFHI’s Costa Rica programs, offered in partnership with ICDS, provide immersive, interdisciplinary learning experiences that combine academics, community engagement, and cultural immersion. Designed for students interested in global health, sustainability, Spanish language, and social justice, these programs foster a deeper understanding of the complex social, environmental, and cultural factors that shape health and development in Latin America.

Program options include Health Care in Latin America, a semester program exploring healthcare systems and public health; Spanish and Health in Latin America, a 4-week program combining Spanish for health sciences with regional health learning; Spanish and Sustainability Practices, focused on sustainability, food security, and community-based learning; and Sustainable Development and Social Justice in Latin America, which examines equity, development, and social change through an experiential Latin American lens.
