Featuring a 36-hour supervised shadowing experience within the Costa Rican healthcare system, this program is ideal for students pursuing a career in the health sciences (to include dentistry, medicine, nursing, nutrition, physical therapy, sports therapy and more!). The program is open to all levels of Spanish speakers, although spots are limited for students with no Spanish language, and shadowing placements for those with no Spanish will also be limited. Students will choose one of two courses offered: Healthcare in Latin America (taught in English) or Spanish for Healthcare Professionals (taught in Spanish at the 300-level). Through coursework, intensive shadowing, visits to local organizations and homestays, students will be immersed in Costa Rican culture and learn firsthand about one of Latin America's most unique healthcare systems.
