Cross-Cultural Health in Spain

by: The University of Minnesota

This program is geared toward students in the health fields, including pre-med, pre-nursing, public health, health services management, and more, who already have a background in Spanish and are interested in studying to get a cross-cultural view of health care. You'll choose from multiple health-related courses, such as Medical Spanish, comparative public health, diversity in global health, and more. You'll also have the opportunity to intern in the health field and take other courses taught in Spanish. Live and study in the walled city of Toledo, home for more than 2,000 years to a succession of Roman, Jewish, Visigoth, Moorish, and Christian civilizations. Declared a World Heritage Site, Toledo is a living museum, a preserved part of Spanish history where people still live, work, and play. A city of approximately 80,000, Toledo offers an environment where you can immerse yourself in Spanish culture through coursework, internships, and daily life.
