About
Participants will experience first-hand the state of healthcare in Quito through clinical rotations. As there is a range of clinical sites (ranging from general primary care, specialized clinics, and emergency care), each student is likely to find the rotations exciting and interesting. Students will also take medical and conversational Spanish classes at the Amazing Andes Language School. Cultural education continues outside of the classroom through the home stay experience and interactions with medical staff during clinical rotations. Most students also take advantage of sightseeing opportunities during the evenings and weekends as there are a number of museums, historical sites, weekend trips, and other attractions in and around Quito.
