  • Oral expression
  • Practical Spanish conversation for conducting medical appointments
  • Understanding: Readings and lectures about medicine, science & technology development

What can I do in my spare time in Quito?

Quito is a beautiful city in Ecuador that has a lot to offer! You’ll never be bored during your spare time as you can hike the picturesque forest hills or relax in bars, and restaurants and roam the city’s museums.
