Medical Shadowing in Buenos Aires

LATIDOS is a four-week medical shadowing program in Buenos Aires for pre-med students seeking clinical exposure during an academic break. Participants complete approximately 20 hours of hospital observation per week at FLENI, an internationally recognized neuroscience institution, with guided learning and reflection. Depending on hospital availability, students may observe areas such as neurology, diagnostics, emergency care, physiatry, and rehabilitation. By seeing how physicians reason, communicate, and collaborate in another healthcare system, students gain perspective for future studies, interviews, and medical school applications. The experience is fully observational and follows strict ethical and patient privacy standards. Programs run during winter and summer academic breaks. The part-time schedule leaves evenings and weekends open to explore Buenos Aires and travel independently. Students finish with a certificate of completion and greater clarity about a future in medicine.
