Learn Medical Spanish in Montanita and Manglaralto as you Intern or Volunteer at a hospital

This is an excellent program that involves practical 'hands on' experience. It is also your opportunity to provide much needed help to often poor communities, and also to gain valuable practical experience.

The feedback has always been that this is a full on, practical option.
For 4 hours per day you will learn General and Medical Spanish with our professional teachers, who have had years of experience teaching medical Spanish. Five days per week you will also have a medical internship (4 hours per day) at the local Hospital in Manglaralto (2 miles for our school, and a 25 cent bus ride). This small rural hospital is an excellent option
The hospital is normally very busy and deals with poor people from the surrounding rural areas and small nearby 'pueblos'. It has a very good range of facilities.
The hospital is extremely interested in receiving both qualified medical professionals, and medical students

It has about 20 doctors (most of them young and very enthusiastic about helping you).
The hospital needs help, and wants you to become practically involved to the greatest degree possible.
The feedback we have received from past interns is excellent. In bigger more regulated hospitals practical hands on experience is more difficult to obtain, but in this hospital they encourage your full participation.

The Director of the Hospital Director Dr. Nelson Victor R, warmly welcomes both medical professionals and medical students alike. Your medical coordinator is the hospital administrator, Juan Noinivos
