Professional Medical Spanish Program in Ecuador . . .

Our Professional Medical Spanish Program is a dedicated coursecombined with practical experience, designed to give medical students, doctors and other health professionals a solid grounding in medical and health-related Spanish. After successfully completing this course you will be able to communicate competently in Spanish to patients and staff in your particular field.

The Professional Medical Spanish course leads students through the related vocabulary and terminology (basic to advanced), with specially designed readings and interactive materials in different specialty areas (ophthalmology, gyneacology, endocrinology, etc), and a wide range of general topics.

Daily one-to-one classes are personalized to your particular needs, and are split between normal Spanish at intermediate or advanced level and specifically medical Spanish, using a wide range of printed, electronic and interactive media.

"I really appreciated the depth of the materials and the course in general. My teacher was very knowledgeable and competent with the medical materials and really worked me hard! . . .Combining the classes with a practicum gave me a good opportunity to practice what I was learning in the classes."

  1. One month in Quito or Cuenca with Practicum

    In combination with Spanish classes, Yanapuma will arrange daily work at a local hospital, clinic or health center including duties appropriate to your level of experience. We offer a range of possible locations in Quito or Cuenca depending upon your needs and preferences. A $200 donation to the health center where you work is included in the price of the program, and students are encouraged to try to solicit donations from their home institution before coming to Ecuador to further help some of the poorer health centers. Click here for a list of practicum options.

    Once you have finished your studies in Quito or Cuenca, gain additional experience through working full time in a hospital, clinic or health center outside Quito or Cuenca. Yanapuma will make all necessary arrangements for your work in one of these centers. The minimum time commitment is one month, unless you continue to work in the same center in Quito or Cuenca.

    Students must have at least an intermediate level of Spanish to participate in this program. Preparatory classes can be taken with us to help you reach the level necessary to take full advantage of the course materials developed for our program.
