Medical Spanish School:
Antigua, Guatemala
Antigua has received many medical students coming to study Spanish through private instruction. You will find many medical professionals and students from all over the world relaxing in Antigua's cafes during the day when there is some down time. You can also find them enjoying the night life after a long day in classes and working or shadowing at a clinic.
Many of our medical Spanish students take the opportunity to gain experience either shadowing or working hands on in one of the local clinics. The programs we have developed are based on over a decade of experience in sending medical students and professionals to Antigua.
We have narrowed down the key aspects for a medical Spanish program that we feel are most important to our medical students. Our program provides the best value, while at the same time fitting in an intensive Medical Spanish course study and Medical volunteer / shadowing opportunities based on your experience in the medical field. All students must provide a CV/Resume upon registration or soon after so we can verify what volunteer / shadowing options are available to you.
It is quite easy for us to customize the courses to Medical Spanish since all courses offered in Antigua are through private instruction. You will be one on one with your instructor and can choose from a 4-6 hour lesson plan. It is important to note that if you are volunteering or shadowing in addition to courses, it is best to stick with the 4 lessons per day program to make your daily load more managable as a 4 lesson per day Spanish program is very intensive. All of our programs listed below include the 4 lesson per day option.
