Dominical: Medical Spanish Program

This Dominical Medical Spanish program was developed to help Medical Professionals and Medical Students improve their knowledge of Spanish as it pertains to their profession, communicating in a culturally sensitive method with Spanish speaking patients and their families, and improved diagnosis abilities due to more productive description of patient symptoms and medical histories. By combining in class exercises, specialized vocabulary and homework with medical volunteer opportunities in local clinics and hospitals, we believe this is the most comprehensive program of its kind.

Every day participants will be given specific vocabulary to study as well as in class participation which will reinforce those new words and terms. In this program students will be exposed to the school clinic where they can observe patients supervised by a Costa Rican medical professional.

Please be advised that AEC cannot guarantee patient visitations due to the limited population in the Dominical Area. Patient visitors vary by season, so contact an AEC representative to better plan your clinic program.
