Programs-Summer 2007

This 3-credit (undergraduate or graduate) program will introduce students to the health care system in Mexico and provide them with an opportunity to experience, first-hand, a variety of Mexican health care settings.  To understand and appreciate Mexican culture and its impact on health beliefs and practices, students will take Spanish language classes.  These will be small group classes and students will be placed into the appropriate level, based on a proficiency test they will take upon their arrival at the language school.  Students will spend six days in the town of San Miguel de Allende and four days in the city of Guanajuato.
