AEC's Nursing Spanish Program Content  

Nursing Program Director - Dr. Sergio Arias
Nursing Program Coordinator - Nurse Pablo Valverde

The AEC Spanish Institute nursing program consists of:


• 4 hours per day of morning Standard Spanish classes. Each student will be separated into one of nine levels of Spanish classes aimed at their current individual level of Spanish fluency.

• 3 hours per week of afternoon class of weekly blocks of related subject matter (one hour for three days) , geared toward learning medical terminology and culturally appropriate communication skills designed to be specifically applicable for nurses in dealing with Spanish speaking patients and their families.

• Weekending “charlas” (medical seminars) with combined classes of medical and nursing Spanish students and our staff to discuss that week's block of subject material, allowing individual questions from students who wish to clarify or expand on that week's classroom content.

• Visitations, accompanied by staff preceptor, for 3 hrs/week to one or two of the following sites:
• Either of the general practice clinics at La Fortuna or Monterey
• Either of the general hospitals at Ciudad Quesada or San Carlos
(open only to nursing students at the intermediate Spanish fluency level or above).
• Accompany nurses of the country's social service system (CCSS) in their
community outreach programs to individual families.
