Program Reviews:
Summer 2017 Participant
I found the doctors advice and notes most rewarding for my future and for my life currently. They were very helpful and you could feel that the doctors wanted you to learn and grow.

Summer 2018 Participant
My favorite part of this program was gaining medical knowledge of various specialties in the hospital while also getting to know the doctors.

Summer 2017 Participant
Although Spanish speaking skills are not required for this program, I highly recommend that those interested do take at least one Spanish course, or study some Spanish beforehand.
