MedSpanish Abroad connects medical students, doctors, and others in healthcare with their ideal Spanish language study abroad program.

MedSpanish Abroad utilizes the power of crowdsourcing to capture the details that matter most to medical students and doctors who seek to travel abroad to learn or improve Spanish language skills.

Origin: The website began as a school project that intended to better inform medical students investigating the many opportunities to travel abroad and practice Spanish. This page launched in December 2020, so we are in the early stages of testing and gathering reviews from medical students and doctors. As this platform progresses, the platform will open more broadly to include other healthcare workers and students (nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, and more).
