Program Reviews:
Summer 2017 Participant
I learned a lot of Spanish and a lot about the day-to-day life of a physician. We were able to observe lots of different procedures from daily check-ups to birth to surgeries.

Victoria Reggeti, Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part was going to the Hospital and interacting with medical professionals. I also really liked that the program was in a Spanish speaking country.

Summer 2017 Participant
I learned that traveling abroad is the perfect time for self-reflection and the betterment of your own mental health. I learned that studying abroad is the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone and learn more than you could ever imagine about the world, its cultures, its people, and its languages. Madrid is such an international city, flooded with people from all around the world. I loved seeing the diversity of its locals and its tourists. I was encouraged to try so many new things and experiences so many new ways of life while abroad that I will never forget. I will always cherish my experience.
